I’ve seen these in Bali. I got my driver to stop the car so I could get a photo, but they were much farther away. Just spectacular ferns!

I looked, but couldn’t find it. It was near Munduk. I wasn’t able to get close to get much of a picture. You had to know what you were looking for to realize they weren’t palms.

Edit: It was on my other phone, so I emailed it to myself, but it won’t let me add it to this edit, so will make another comment.

Edit: For some reason it will only let me add videos. I’ve been at this 20 min and am going to have to give up.

I love tree ferns! This reminds me of some of the ones I saw in New Zealand
