Are Palm Trees Native to Southern California?
0:07:45
From the OC Almanac: Although the palm tree has come to be symbolic of Southern California, the only truly native palm is the California or Washington palm (Washingtonia filifera). All other varieties were originally imported. Southern California saw a huge surge in palm plantings during the 1920s and 1930s, many of which still line streets in Southern California today.

I just used up more than the thirty-four plus minutes of my precious time for this little visual documentary. The extra time I took were for a few breaks. I would just rewind back to the last place I saw visually and continued. It was a pleasure to see the interior of the workshop and voices of the artist.
If you would like a rating: I would give it a ten of ten being the best.

Ed Ruscha also has some great intaglio prints at Crown Point Press in SF. I highly recommend checking them out. Here's a cool clip of him talking about making prints:

I wonder if i can convince Cirrus to give me a tour of the shop when I'm in LA later this month?
