Z Heart of Ixtapa

Perhaps it is because Ixtapa actually uses WATER when maintaining their plants while in Zihua they plant and give them a "there you go" and that is practically the end of maintenance.

BINGO! That was really good, Carol.

I guess you've noticed that not one single coconut palm tree that was planted at the zócalo during the administration of Alejandro Bravo has survived. And to boot, the lone palm tree that stood beside the basketball court near where the amate tree was has also died, I suspect from the same thing that killed the amate, which I suspect was the oil the from the popcorn vendor. Amazing that Mexicans have such a good reputation as gardeners in the USA, yet in Zihuatanejo we can't even grow a friggin' palm tree on the main plaza even though they are practically zero maintenance.

But change is a-coming...
