Uncommon beautiful phenomenon - my l. orbiculares in early stage of producing seed. The palm is happy in Miami.

Wow, that is extraordinary...

I've never seen a cultivated L. orbicularis in flower before in S. Florida. A couple old plants of that size but never one with an inflorescence. It was thought it would never happen with containerized plants; we figured they would take so, so long to mature, if ever. This is a milestone for sure, as we now have a reference as to a size for maturity.

Congrats on your palm's debut flowering as it is obviously very happy.

Ryan

P.S. - Nice Johannesteijsmannia magnifica as well.

Beautiful specimen, I killed mine in a  1 gal. That is what I was hoping for. I’ll try again! What is the secret to grow them like that?

Good draining soil, filtered light, moderate water, fertilizer withadded iron and magnesium and luck.

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

I just did, Sour Cream and Onion flavored ones. Being in person with a palm like that and feeling the stiff, pleated texture of the leaves -- intensifies the feeling of potato chip envy.

Update - my orbicularis grew another inflorescence. The original one put out about 20 seeds that are maturing.  My licuala mattanensis is now in flower - remarkable to see.

Well now you’re just showing off! Seriously though, both palms look great. Whatever you’re doing, keep it up.
