Macro Monday SUNSHINE

SUNSHINE and rain are necessities for plants to thrive and survive. While out walking I noticed some palm trees with pod like appendages hanging downward. A little further along on the walk was another palm tree of the same variety with this large creamy colored and very textured bloom. My first thought was it looked like an upside down cornstalk.

Not sure which variety of palm this is. Any ideas???

I have seen date palms in Darwin that look similar and the fruit bats rip em to shreds.

Once again beautiful, the colors all in the “earthy hues”. It could be a date palm grown in Florida. Well done Pearl ..

Very pretty alien life form. Since you live in Exotica I am of no assistance as to what it is, but I would guess something to do with pollination?
