Chamaedorea elegans. Thought they were suckered on the sides. Turned out to be swathes. Post your flowering palms in pots !

My smaller c. Cataractarum has flowered a couple times, and my C. Benezii has 3 or 4 times now. Honestly I just snipped the spathes off to encourage more growth.

I meant to say "suckers" not "suckered"; and "spathes" not "swathes". Auto-correct, maybe.

I just read that my parlor palm is dioecious, so these will not become viable without a male elegans nearby.

Also that the flowers are a bitter delicacy battered and fried or eaten in salads in El Salvador and Guatemala. A delicate delicacy-- so tiny. Can they really taste so good to be worth the trouble I wonder.
