LATANIA LODDIGESII

This is a Blue Latan Palm from the Mauritius but this photo was taken at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

What captured my attention were the inflorescence spikes and the numerous flowers.

It had a natural beauty about it that I couldn't resist.

NB on 10 Oct 13: This is a dioecious palm and the flowers shown here are the male ones with anthers.
