what about SPINES THAT REACH OUT TO THE WORLD? Explanation: I wouldn't want to be hugged by a penca (too claustrophobic, if not anything else), but if I knew it was doing the same to everyone else, I wouldn't mind. Sounds cute, and gives the penca a Spielberg-type "bicho" character. |

fleshy leaf Explanation: Hi, What about “fleshy leaf”? “Fleshy leaves hugging the World”? It’s the translation given by Harper-Collins and Larousse. Besides, the ad-jective “fleshy” may suggest something soft, tender. It all depends on your mind. Hope to be of help, Manuel |

frond (s) Explanation: Try this: Fronds that Embrace the World. Pencas is often used in Spanish to refer to palm fronds and other large leaves of plants. Seems a little more legant, wouldn´t you say? BoBL F |
