CARYOTA NO

Wow, this single-stemmed Giant Fishtail Palm recently sent out this huge inflorescence spike.

It looked like a humongous whisk carried by pugilistic nuns shown in chinese martial arts movies. The flowers have not fully opened, so I would be posting the flowers or even fruits in time to come.

Usually after the flowering, I think it would die off. So we will wait and see.
