    Palm trees tend to do that when flourished

    That’s so cool to learn this is a palm blooming. I’m in Northern Ohio so I don’t know much in regard to palms. I know they’re technically grass but I’ve heard them be referred to as the ‘celery’ of trees.

    EDIT: closely related to grass

    Flower spike, the flowers are the pink bits. I think this palm could be a Picabeen Palm *Archontophoenix cunninghamiana*

    Bro finally grows a magnificent penis and the local monkeys take pictures and ask if it’s infected jfc

    Those eat dogs like pugs and bulldogs best to scare it away by quickly and repeatedly opening a umbrella at it

    I was very curious about what type of palm this is, so, for anyone else who’s wondering, it seems to be an Archontophoenix Alexandrae (an “alexandra palm” or “king palm”). (Specifically, [this one](https://maps.app.goo.gl/w8ujmNHMHXknPPWj6).)

    Looks like cordyceps fungi. Don’t breath in the spores.

    Good reminder that Palms, being monocotyledons related to corn, have a vaguely similar husk/sheath and vaguely similar hair-like, silky flowering structures.

    Palms and corn are basically just big grass blades with a very rudimentary simple vascular system.

    Yup, police are going to have to send out SWAT for this criminal!

    I saw that for the first time in Hawaii like 20 years ago. It was wild then, too.

    If y’all are into palm blooms, check out Rio…
    Talipot palms are flowering for the first and only time in their lives
