Meet our new family member!

I drove past this fan palm today and couldn't resist rescuing him from his position on the sidewalk outside a florist and took him home with me.  It was quite some feat getting him into the car, but with him peering over my shoulder as we drove home, I felt quite pleased with myself.

going to have to move that picture.  Oh and get a proper plant pot!

Isn't he gorgeous??


He needs a name!  (yes I name all our indoor plants)...any ideas??

UPDATE:  Thank you for all your suggestions!  I'll copy my response below here:

Well I ran your suggestions by the fan palm.

He stayed perfectly still when I called him Pat. Ignoring me.

He also stayed perfectly still when I called him Lou but I detected a quiver... [the central heating may have had something to do with it having just come on at that very moment]



But when I called him Professional Lewis Carroll, Lou for short, he waved his graceful heads around in assent! [I choose to ignore the central heating now blowing full force]

So his full name is Professor Lewis Carroll to name him after Lewis Carroll (although his real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, did you know that??) after one of my favourite authors.

He just seems an intellectual kinda plant you know? :D Plus he looks like he kinda belongs in the land of the jabberwocky. Am I a bit wacky



And I didn't mention Frederick! There was assent there too! Not as much as there was for Professor Lewis. Goodness. Wonder what'll happen when the heating goes off.
