Coco-like plant - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Of all my plants, this one reminds me the most of Coco:

Dang, that does remind me of Coco. Pretty wild.

What species is it?

I'm pretty sure it's Beaucarnea recurvata also known as the Elephant Foot or Ponytail Tree. I have another view of her:

By coincidence the color of the bowl it's sitting in kind of reminds me of Coco's body. You might have the beginnings of a fanart project here!

Haha Thank You! Sadly she's not very animated or manic. In fact she barely even grows.

That's so cool, koosie.

I've had a houseplant for several years (not really sure what kind it is - I lost the original label) which reminds me a bit of Coco's hair. Sadly, most of its leaves have either withered or died off lately, so I think it may be on the way out.

Most of the plants I keep are orchids (mostly phalaenopsis), though I'm not very good at encouraging them to reflower.

Wow! That's really neat,koosie. It does remind me of coco

Coincidence? Maybe.

Still, I admit that plant does indeed resemble Coco.

Maybe someone can make a planter that looks like Coco sans the top of her head, and then put a little palm in it?
