The Wax Palm is the “National Tree” of Colombia. One of the tallest species of palm in the world. Colombia hosts the highest variety of species of palms in the world and I honor that by depicting some of them. The Wax palm is native to the high mountains in our country. It grows very slowly, in the cloud forest above 2000 meters above sea level up to the edge of the tree line over 3000 m. I used fosforescent pigments as well as UV visible and invisible pigments.
