No,it was real,but my view could have been deceiving. I should have posted as fast as I saw it to let others get a chance to check it out.
It was outdoors. If you see House Hunters International and the episode of the young couple that has monkeys climbing into their balcony from telephone wires? THAT'S the one.
I know- sounds unbelievable..I saw it,and never saw anything like it. Freeze framed it looked,red,and palmate fronds and a clumping trunk about as round as large Dypsis lutescens. So,not large by fan palm standards.
I must have seen wrong..but if you catch that episodes..look for it. Stood out like a red thumb.
