About two weeks ago the cleaning lady at the service center was working outside when I walked out of the office heading for home and lunch. She stopped me and taking me by the arm led me over to a palm tree. "See that," she said, "it is the flower of the tree." Who knew palm trees had flowers. I wanted pictures of the flower but waited too long and it was out of the bud. I then noticed that another palm tree was just starting to bud.

This "flower" is about 8 feet up the trunk.
Note the bark change above the flower.
