Palm Trees Photos @May 18, 2009

To better appreciate May 19, 2009 Palm Tree Stamp Issue, I visited Penang Botanical Gardens the day before. I am no Charles Darwin nor a Botanist but I was a Malaysian Nature Society member who had trekked in Endau Rompin National Park where Serdang Endau was endemic. So these may not the exact palm species but close look alike. Just enjoy these snap shots taken on my mobile phone on May 18, 2009 afternoon.
