Photo of the Day - Palm Flowers



Until I lived in tropical environments, I never thought about palm trees and plants flowering, yet they have interesting blooms. They are usually long feathery-looking tassles, and they can make quite a mess when they fall. Some are very long and sweeping. I've seen some three feet long. This is a smaller variety. I've also learned there are many species of palm, and I have no idea what they all are. They do produce seeds (fruit), and I've lived with coconut palms. More on those another time. None of the palms I have now has edible fruit, that I know of.
