Burretiokentia hapala inflorescence


Tracy

Recommended Posts

Whenever I look up photos of Burretiokentia hapala inflorescence they all look pretty much the same in structure; that they branch near the base stick out and have varying degrees of wiggles much like what the one below.  I've seen plenty in person that look the same.  But not one of mine.  I posted photos of the other one in a different thread I had started but due to the subject matter being different I didn't hear responses from others if it fell with the "normal" or typical spectrum.   This is what I expect from a Burretiokentia below:

I have 3 other Burretiokentia hapalas which have all flowered over the last few years.  This one is the unusual one in structure.  Rather than the inflorescence branching only at the base, it branches further down, sometimes just into two, but as you can see, it can be up to 4 branches.  Anyone seen this before?  It isn't limited to just one abnormal inflorescence, it has been doing this on all of them that it's holding right now, and I may have missed it before since it was low to the ground with fronds hanging over it.
