Summer should mean things in bloom.  Some Dypsis inflorescence in my garden with and without flowers starting with a Dypsis onilahensis hybrid.  Share yours!

Dypsis plumosa inflorescences struggling to push their way out.

Dypsis heteromorpha with flowers that attract bees.

Dypsis prestoniana inflorescence without any flowers.

Keep an eye on that Tracy.

This happens to me a lot.

 Mold / fungus can get up in there.

 

Lots of seeds this year from many different palms.  Sun is at bad angle to take pics.

Dypsis Arenarum with a green anole  doing acrobatics:

and just noticed this yesterday on my Dypsis Robusta hybrid:

Great looking plants Tracy and Jason I have a couple trees to add at this time Dypsis florencei 2nd attempt ,dypsis lutescens ,dypsis lanceolota, and dypsis leptocheilios  

Here are some of mine:

This last one it looks like you changed genus on us to Burretiokentia if I'm not mistaken.  Everything looks great Joe!  Was that Dypsis pembana in the string of photos too?

Good eye, Tracy.  Last pic is my B hapala’s first info now filled with seeds.  The next pair of inflos are about to open.  Hope there will be another batch of seeds.  
 

Dypsis are:

baronii

suckering ambositrae 

upright onilahensis 

lutescens

lanceolata

Since you didn't post any Dypsis pembana, I'll add mine.  It is one of my solitary that started out a a clumping pembana when I first planted it.  It was abused during our remodel in 2013-2014, with only the one stem surviving and it never popped out any others.  This is my only Dypsis pembana that has pushed an inflorescence either in this garden or my old garden.  Like the Dypsis plumosa I posted, this is having a hard time popping out from behind the retained crownshaft for the previous leaf.

I'm not sure if the seeds are larger enough to indicate they are potentially viable on the Dypsis onilahensis hybrid I have.  I tried to provide scale on size with my hand.  I know that the non-viable seeds I have had for years now on my Dypsis lanceolata are smaller than this, so I was hopeful seeing something a little larger.  Too small still or about right for D onilahensis viable seeds?

Dypsis Lafazamanga, it’s amazing how fast this plant has been.  I have another, planted shortly after this one, that I am about to pull out of the ground because it never looks good. Maybe I got lucky with this one? 2 years in the ground from a 4” plant. 

Onilahensis- second year flowering but no seed production yet...

 

Baronii....

Cool to see Teddy Bears with inflos in CA!

Seeds started forming and aborted bummer. So maybe next time but I do know of one plant producing viable seed in Southern California

No inflorescence yet, but a big sheeth popping out right now on my smaller Dypsis prestoniana.  This one hasn't produced viable seed yet unlike the bigger one growing in my yard even though this was the first to push out an inflorescence a few years back.

Rats have discovered they like D lanceolata seeds...

Are they climbing up in your D lanceolata or just scavenging all of them that drop to the ground Joe?  While I often see rats around the neighborhood I don't see them in my garden much.  Perhaps the dog, now dogs discourage them for me.

They scale the tree and go to the inflos.  My dogs when they were younger would discourage them, but now that they are older and slower...not so much.
