    That’s great Colin what a milestone! Looks like it’s not too large either; I assumed these would take many decades to get to mature size but this bodes well that plenty of others in cultivation may be approaching flowering size. 
     

    I can’t say I’ve seen a flowering Oraniopsis in person but I’m guessing it’s a male? Hopefully we’ve got some potential mother plants around to accept the pollen. If not, maybe throw some on a Ceroxylon or Ravenea (controversial topic around here 🫤)

    Very surprised and delighted to see it flower before clear trunk.

    Whoa, now that’s something you don’t see very much of in cultivation! That’s a botanical garden botanical dream right there!🌱

    You have been put on the palm police checklist, for using the word hybrid in the same sentence with a palm. 🤦‍♀️
