Seems this ole Trachy has some life left in it yet, after spending two (heated) winters and one summer planted.
If this is an inflorescence, is it supposed to be brown on top?
And another one's coming up on the other side.

Plus I've never seen all that tomentum on the stems before.
And...did I ever catch hell from the carpenter who took the palm hut apart.
Apparently, spray foam is also a GLUE. 😕
Who knew?
He had to pry walls, roof, and base apart with a bar. Oops!
Remnants of spray foam glue are all over the place.

I am so excited if the Trachy is going to flower this year! :blob4:

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks Aaron!
But I wonder if the brown tips on those growths means no flowers and/or rot?

Barb congratulations on your Trachy flowering! I did some research and if the flower inside the spathe covering is greener than yellow it`s a female. Male flowers are yellow inside.It is rare but possible that it could be a hermaphrodite Trachy. Checked mine today and it looks like I have a female. If yours is a male we`ll have thousands of Trachy seeds from now on. So cool!

Had to look up what hermaphrodyte means. 😉
Kinda like goldfish or some turtles?
green flowers = female
yellow = male.
Sounds like you and I are starting a dating service, John. :laughing7:
And just last week I wrote that I wished my old Trachy would flower.
Will concentrate on the lottery next 😆 😆 😆
Thanks!

Lol dating service. We could call it "Two to tango Trachy seeds" It`s got a good ring to it?

congrats, Barb! It only took a few decades 😆 Hopefully you have a male flower there so that you and John can split a big seed harvest!

Thanks folks.
Cigars and beer for everyone (burp) 😆 😆
H and I were figuring out its age.
It's a year older than our daughter, so Trachy is 35. (I'm still 29...again) 🙄
Thank God I planted it as it would've died in its garbage can.
Momma gonna go feed baby...
"Two to tango Trachy seeds", good one John.
