It took more than 15 years for one of our bottle palms to bloom The yellow cluster of flowers also called inflorescence is standing out way up there My eyes could not miss it. They will soon be converted to seeds and that may take may be a few months We had planted six of them of which 4 have survived They add to the height of our garden standing up royally and in a dignified manner. It made my day capturing this rare happening

Oh how lovely this photo is. Looks like this palm would provide some nice shade.

Not much of a shade but it adds height to the garden

I noticed the inflorescence looking at the three palms of one of the neighbors. I hope they will not spread to our garden.

@LadyDuck That happens with the fish palms here. Birds bring the seeds.

@allknowing I have spent one hour yesterday cutting all the young palms that were growing when I do not want them.

So what kind of fruit will it produce eventually?

That is pretty cool. It must be pretty satisfying to see something you nurtured finally come to fruition.

That's a long time to wait for a plant to bloom. Gardeners need to have patience.

Palm tress looks really nice and has a decorative aspect to it.
