Lovegrove who is known for her bold, vibrant paintings of tropical-esque images g such as fish, the Beatles and patriotic themes, is moving the large body of her work and pieces to The Tree Tops Center across from the Dairy Queen restaurant on Periwinkle Way. She is moving from her Matlacha gallery where she will still maintain her national headquarters. •as "Matlacha has been very good to me," she 01 said. Lovegrove said the move is a good move for her because of the size of the Sanibel gallery - the former Art in the Tree Tops Gallery.

Beautiful palm with a straight medium diameter, to boot or not to boot, trunk. Super size (4 to 5 feet long), medium green, fan like fronds, (palm leaves), that have an arch to them. This arch gives them the appearance of a pinnate and palmate shape combo. The frond stems are very thick and unarmed (no barbs) and emerge from a rough crown shaft. A Solitary Palm that reminds me of the Florida from 1960's, when 1 first moved to paradise. You might also experience lots of memories and recollec- tions looking at this palm, which used to be as numerous all over the state as orange fees once were. We have oodles of this iconic palm blooming at the Botanical Gardens of the Sanibel Moorings. Upon further investigation: Cabbage Palm also called Sabal or Palmetto Palm is our state tree.

Considered a medium palm whose mature height can be 50 feet, it is perfect for our temperatures of dry climates and coastal areas. Plant in partial shade to full sun in a well drained area.

Individual teams can number in the hundreds, and thousands of additional workers remain on-call. Working with the Coast Guard, our teams continue cleaning up until the last bit of oil has been removed.

Our Responsibility Our beach operations.will continue Until the last of the oil has been skimmed from the sea, the beaches and estuaries have been cleaned up, and the region has been pronounced oil-free. We have already spent more than $3.9 billion responding to the spill and on the cleanup, and none of this will be paid by taxpayers.

Our commitment is that we'll be here for as long as it takes. We may not always be perfect, but we will do everything we can to make this right.
