Midwesterners may be mystified, but any Southern Californian will recognize this shaggy mess as the normal trunk bark of the Mexican Fan Palm, a south-of-the-border native that often lines city boulevards. For some no doubt obscure reason it's named for George Washington. I captured it during a foray to the tropical greenhouse at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
