The Hyatt House Miami Airport does have quite a garden. Even on rainy days there is always a dry moment for taking a nice walk around. This is how we did discover those tall, Phoenix dactylifera or Date Palm.
These Date Palm trees look quite Regal...
Zooming in on the Date Branches where those Dates are ripening...
Blogger friend Ria from 'It's Me' does sell those Date Branches from their store in The Netherlands, see link below post.
Quite a sight those Date Branches against the sky...
However not a blue sky, but pregnant with rain.
The Hyatt House Miami Airport has quite a number of Date Palms on their property.

ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteSuch tall palms always look exotic!

Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletereally tall palms... I had a small indoor plant long time ago, but it did not really grow well in the house....
thank you for the nice pictures!
Happy weekend to you,
Love and hugs
Claudia
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteWe too have a Canary Date Palm in a pot but there are hundreds of varieties so they don't all grow as majestic and tall as these at the Hyatt House Miami Airport!
Enjoy your weekend too.
Hugs,
Mariette

Liebe Elisabeth,

Ik heb nooit geweten dat de palmbladeren voor decoraties worden gebruikt. Palmbomen hebben altijd iets magisch vind ik, je voelt je dan echt in een ander land. De eerste keer zag ik ze in Spanje.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteNee, niet de bladeren maar de dadeltakken met de nog niet rijpe dadelvruchten. De bladeren hebben een bijbelse betekenis omdat het deze palmtakken zijn die gebruikt werden op Palmzondag. Ja zeker hebben palmbomen iets magisch, een exotisch gevoel wat gepaard gaat met warmte. Zéker voor nederlanders!
Liefs,
Mariette
I think you must have enjoyed your time there.

Dearest Kay,
DeleteWe always enjoy our time in Miami as there is so much to see and to do. This hotel is like being home; fully equiped kitchen and all. You just go shopping and actually live there. Pool, palm trees and tropical scenery makes for perfect surroundings.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette.
ReplyDeleteI can understand even on rainy days those tall palmbladeren are beautiful!
We have are raining all the time...
Hugs and love to you.
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteCloudy skies or blue one, that really doesn't matter indeed!
Here it is clear blue and sunny but cooler at night. Now it is 20°C though.
Hope things will clear up for you so you can play golf again!
Hugs,
Mariette
Ciao Mariette,buon fine settimana!Baci!Rosetta
ReplyDeleteCara Rosetta,
DeleteAnche per tutti voi un buon fine settimana!
Abbraccio,
Mariette
Che belli quei rami pieni di datteri Mariette!..e dici che Ria li vende nel suo shop...è vero, me ne ero scordata!
ReplyDeleteUn caro abbraccio e buon week end....io ancora ammalata...ma passerà spero!☺
Anna
Cara Anna,
DeleteQuesto momento quando i rami sono pieni di datteri è molto bello! Davvero, Ria li vende dal suo shop; no so da dove vienen ma li ha.
Vi auguri un buon weekend e speriamo che fra poco sei meglio!
Un baccio molto grande,
Mariette
Carissima Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThose palm trees are gorgeous! We have palm trees growing along the sea shores, and the farthest North is on the Riviera. Some hardier species can be cultivated in gardens even here in Piedmont (not the tall ones).
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend! And thank you for your sweet comments!
Hugs to you!
Dearest Anna,
DeleteThe very same for our area, it is subtropical but we cannot grow these tall ones... Which is sad, they add such an exotic beauty to their environment. Our palm tree is getting bigger and bigger though, it seems to be happy but not comparable with these...
Happy weekend and as for those comments; you earn them!
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette, ja du hast recht, Dattelpalmen - überhaupt so prächtige und hohe Exemplare - sind immer schön!
ReplyDeleteDanke für deinen wertvollen Hinweis, was mein Giveaway-Post bzw. meine Blog-Seitenleiste betrifft. Da muss es irgendeinen Fehler geben - ich habe jetzt ein Hilfsposting mit Link gesetzt und hoffe, das hilft!
Herzliche Grüße, Traude
Liebe Traude,
DeleteJa besonders diese hohe Exemplare sind so exotisch schön.
Kein Dank, ich wollte es nur weiterleiten damit dein Giveaway auch erfolgreich wird und hier funktioniert es wieder!
Lieber Gruss,
Mariette
They are beautiful palm trees! And very different from regular palm trees which I'm familiar with. If I go to Florida sometime in the future, I will check them out :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteOh the ones we have around here are quite different, they look pretty but are not as exotic as those tall versions. It is always hard to travel if you have fur babies...
Hugs and happy weekend!
Mariette
We do have lots of palm trees in Greece of various species, but not with edible dates, although we have the same climate as Florida.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very nice weekend, my dear Mariette!!
Hugs!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteGuess these in Florida don't ripen as well because the high humidity is not the optimum climate. Tunisia is producing lots of dates with their hot and dry dessert climate and there are hundreds of varieties of date palms too. But those fruits on the branches, the ones that are being sold by florists looked very similar to the ones in Florida.
Hugs to you and happy weekend!

Dear Mariette,we have here in Greece many palm trees!!
ReplyDeleteI had one for 20 years but a bug destroyed it!
Wish you a happy weekend!Hugs!
Dimi...(Tomorrow, my daughter is arriving from Holland!!!)
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteOh you sure have plenty of palm trees in Greece, it looks so exotic, that and those blue skies and blue seas... Sometimes they are very sensitive to certain diseases and its quite a loss after 20 years.
You for sure will be looking forward to seeing your daughter back home; arriving from Amsterdam airport. What a small world indeed. Enjoy your special time together and happy weekend!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette, I just love palm trees and the many varieties. Ours is doing well here in our garden and grown a lot this season. We love the palms in Miami too when we visit there on my hubbies trips for work. They are gorgeous in California too. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Hugs
Dearest Celestina Marie,
DeleteThere are so many different ones indeed. We once went shopping for palm trees with a friend from Escondido, California. The choice is incredible and they also are quite costly. Thanks for your visit and kind words.
Hugs and happy weekend to you both as well.
Mariette
Oh liebe Mariette, ich hab noch nie eine Dattelpalme gesehen - die sieht ja sehr interessant aus -
ReplyDeleteso wachsen also Datteln am Baum heran -
ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende
liebe Grüße - Ruth
Liebe Ruth,
DeleteJa, wir leben selber in eine subtropische Gegend und wenn wir nach dem Süden fahren in Florida dann kommen immer mehr und mehr Palme in sicht.
Auch ein wunderschönes Wochenende wünsche ich euch.
Lieber Gruss,
Mariette
Such an impressive tree Mariette! Wish they could grow in Holland :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Madelief x
Dearest Madelief,
DeleteThey are majestic and very impressive so high against the sky. But their habitat is such that The Netherlands will not be an ideal environment for them to grow in. We don't have these in Georgia but other varieties. Along the coast you see even more plam trees, it always looks so exotic and we already feel fortunate for having our own palm tree when looking from the balcony...
Hugs and happy weekend!
Mariette
That certainly is a beautiful tree, Mariette, but I've always wondered why people in the Deep South (LA, MS, AL) plant them when hurricanes just knock them down. I think they have their rightful place in Florida, but they always seem out of place here in Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time - such a beautiful place! <3
Dearest Stacy,
DeleteTalking about hurricanes, guess Florida is getting its fare share of those! It is so exotic for having them around so they just take the risk.
We had at least one sunny day without rain, for swimming and the rest for visiting friends and shopping. There is so much to do in Florida when you got your own car.
Hugs,
Mariette
They do look regal . Lovely pictures dear Mariette :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week ahead. Much love .
Dearest Pallavi,
DeleteThank you and for sure you are surrounded by many palm trees in your region!
Enjoy your new week.
Hugs and love,
Mariette
