What a difference in appearance you get growing this species in a suitable hot/humid location. I've got a couple that are/have bloomed here in Berkeley, Calif where they don't waft any fragrance, do set seed, but are just incredibly slow to push growth; probably just one or at most two new fronds in a year. I wouldn't bother planting these locally again, failure to thrive in a cool foggy summer location where summer nights are typically 55°F and, days seldom hit 75°F. Love the size and distinctive foliage, but it doesn't like my climate.
