Sweeet!  I imagine not too many of these flowering in Southern California yet.  I'm sure there will be more over time.  It will be interesting to see if any produce viable seed here in this climate.

Is there any palm that doesn't grow to perfection at your place?   Come see some seeding Lipsticks at Matty B's place! 

Congrats bro. Looks really good.

One of mine pushed out its first flower this year. I'm kind of surprised, as it's not a very large plant yet...

Jack and Matty!

Obscenities have been duly screamed . . . .

The seeds look exactly like those cherry penny gumballs I used to like when I was a kid, same size, everything.

Nice twinsies Jack!  Looks like yours has a few extra rings of trunk. What a fatty flower.   I guess we’ll have to settle the tie on who’s ekmanii flowers first. Or who dies first.

A flowering eckmanii? You can't be serious! We'll have to go with death on the tie-break...
