While they usually flower in spring here, I have seen inflorescence appear year-round. Even in winter, it is not uncommon to see Trachy’s flowering. Your own ones may not flower until June, while someone on the same street may have one that is flowering in March. 

Dry-summer Oceanic climate (9a)

No, it's just a colorful LED lighting strip for night-time illumination only.

These two are the tallest filiferas (or filibustas) I spotted in the city so far, as usual the foliage looks toasted right now after the winter frosts, I'll take more pictures later in spring-summer, they're absolute stunners in the summer with full crown
