Coconut freaks!: Two-eyed coconuts
http://coconutfreaks.blogspot.com/2006/01/two-eyed-coconuts.html
Botanical scarcities met on the coconut palm. Click on the pictures to enlarge them . Normal coconuts have three round indented markings or "eyes". These coconuts have only two! They are real coconuts found in Africa. They belongs to the private collection of Dr R. Bourdeix, in Montpellier, France. There is no coconut palm producing regularly this kind of such a strange coconuts. Two eyed coconut are rare; it occurs no more than one time within several hundreds of normal coconut. When we say two eyes).

Coconut art: Coconut blues
http://coconut-art.blogspot.com/2010/11/coconut-blues.html
The Coconut palm is one of the most aesthetic and emblematic plant. Monday, November 1, 2010. The coconut generally evokes images of exotic beaches and peaceful tropical holidays, like this nice place in Upolu Island, Western Samoa. But the reality may be much darker, like on this island in the archipelago of Tuvalu. Coconut blues, a sad song to comfort those who, this winter, will not travel to warmer countries. But the fight between the palm and the so-called "Pacific" Ocean often becomes ruthless.

Coconut art: Undersea coconuts
http://coconut-art.blogspot.com/2010/11/undersea-coconuts.html
The Coconut palm is one of the most aesthetic and emblematic plant. Wednesday, November 3, 2010. During more than 15 years, I have traveled many Pacific Islands to describe and collect old coconut varieties created by Polynesians and Melanesians over past centuries. This coconut encrusted with shells was found under water. It comes from the mouth of a river of the Samoan archipelago. Really have strange eyes! I wish people would remember me as one who went to pick coconuts even into the depths of the sea .
