Went fresh water fishing today in the northern part of the Mobile Delta. Should have gone back to salt water to catch some fish....
However, thought I'd show this photo I took of Cypress trees, complete with moss. Also one with the palmetto fern that grows wild everywhere in the delta. The UK fellows probably haven't got such plant life in their part of the world.

Nice photos of one of my favorites in my garden, the Sabal minor, the Dwarf palmetto and bald cypress which is at its northern extent in my region.

Niner: The British Isles are believe it or not, mild enough to be able to grow several kinds of palm trees, including the Pindo or Jelly Palm, Windmill Palm, Med Fan Palm, Canary Island Date Palm and the Chilean Wine Palm. I saw several there when I went on a college exchange program and would never have believed it if I had not seen it myself.

It's all down to a "marutime climate" and the effect of the gulf stream: Without that Britain would have the same winter weather as New York and Norway would be frozen shut for a large chunk of the year.
