It looked spectacular the day before, but the weather got to it before I got to it with a video camera, so its not as good as it could have been.

I will post a photo of how good it did look once I get it off the camera.

Freeze it, who knows what tommorow brings ;)

very cool. not very colorful, but sure is rare!

Beautiful palm, most of those outside their habitat are not attractive, but that one is stunning and really likes where it is living. Those will be some valuable seeds, good luck.

There will not be any seeds I am afraid as this palm is a bachelor. There are other Juanias on the property, but none of flowering size.

Here is a pic of what it looked like 48hrs before the video was shot.

Excited about the other videos you've shot - like Great Barriere Island. We have a few nice old Puriri trees here in San Francisco.

I have a heap more videos to upload...hopefully will get a few up over the xmas break.

I have just uploaded a Chatham Island Nikau in flower and with fruit, though it is probably not showing in the youtube searches yet.

Its a pity there is not a female nearby, because this palm is chucking out the flowers flat tack, I think it is up to 8 inflorescence.

The seed was collected in Chile and brought back to New Zealand in 1988.
