Early Spring in north-east Downunder: Dypsis decaryi (Triangular Palm) is flowering

Weird and wonderful

Yes ... the flowers on Palms are often overlooked ... but they can be quite lovely when you stop and take notice.

Bernieh:

Wonderful close up of the Dypsis decaryi inflorescence! I've always taken pics of the seeds on the spike but not inflorescence flowering.

They often go unnoticed but I find them rather pretty close-up.

Bernieh:

Many palms palms have beautiful, and sometimes very fragrant flowers. I went to Balboa Park late this afternoon...and I noticed the tall Dypsis decaryi were starting to bloom here also.

It's surprising how easy it is to miss the flowers, Marguerite. I think since I joined sites like GOY I've started to notice these things a whole lot more.
