Allogoptrea arenaria starting to flower

[happypalms]

My arenaria is flowering again it does set viable seeds  that I have germinated before so hopefully this one will set some more seeds again it is a rare palm in my area but only a collectors palm not really up there with the bangalow golden cane buyers list oh how the public need education on exotic plants.

Nice plant! I hope you do get some more seed. I have one about this size as well and would love it if I were lucky enough to get viable seed and germinate it....

That's something I would never, OK, highly unlikely have seen. Thanks for your pics.

Mother Nature, around these parts, can't provide what is captured in your photos. However, your statement is very true.

Looking good out here. Just checked today. I find it better to browse occasionally and be surprised than to micromanage every little growth detail. This was a good surprise.

 

I guess I should get serious with this batch and pay attention to when they are ripe. Heat mat is ready and waiting!!!

 

Not sure why, but now I feel like having some pineapple lol

Wait until they go light yellow orange colour and protect them from the rats let them fall off before picking they look good the flesh is super hard to clean good luck.
