You can find just about anything at a Pulga; but whether you actually want it or not is another question. A lot of the things at a Pulga are illegal, pirated, or otherwise shouldn’t be sold. Precisely why “security” at the Alton, TX flea market asked me to stop taking photographs. Captured May 7, 2011.
Minor Sabal minor
McAllen’s slogan is “City of Palms.” This is a palm tree growing in a sidewalk crack on Second Street. There are a ton of varieties of palm that will grow in the region, but only two varieties are native to this area: Sabal mexicana and Sabal minor. The Sabal mexicana can grow to 40 feet, while the Sabal minor grows to only a few feet tall. I believe this one is a Minor Sabal minor.
