Iconic Banana Leaf

Martinique Wallpaper at The Beverly Hills Hotel

 The iconic Martinique banana leaf was created by CW Stockwell in 1942 for the Beverly Hills Hotel and the rest is history. It has become one of the world's best known wallpapers. A great favorite in Florida, it exemplifies the exuberant Palm Beach style. Banana trees grow well here and bear fruit. My next door neighbor has one his backyard.
