Iriartea deltoidea flowering

Last Friday, this Iriartea deltoidea dropped a flower sheath with a loud "thwop!" and shook itself out like a wet mop. A day or two later I finally returned with the camera to capture the glowing flowers. Now on the fourth day, the bees are still buzzing around it. These stately palms are a favorite.* I first saw them in Costa Rica, looking down on the fluffy crowns from hanging bridges, mesmerizing. These individuals were planted in July of 2011.

It looks like this one has many years to go before I see any flowers 💐

Gorgeous Kim, Iriartea became a favorite after a couple of South American journeys.
