This January photo shows the inflouresence of a Pygmy Date.
By March, the seeds are small but well-formed.
In May, I don't see much change in the seed - they're just a little bit bigger.
And finally, this morning, the Pygmy Date is sporting these gorgeous maroon and purple-black seeds. I think now is the time to gather a few for a seed exchange - and maybe I'll cut a stem or two for decorations inside the house.

Palms are such stately and ornamental plants. The flowering time is great too. I have two huge Cuban royal palms; 20 years old but they have never flowered. Alexandra, Bangalow palms and fishtail flower freely. I also grow the pygmy date palm.
TITANIA - I'm hoping to grow some fishtale palms when I landscape a new bed. I've never heard of Bungalow palms - I'll have to check them out. . .
