I have had what I think is Thrinax radiata growing in my garden for about 15 years, the pics attached are of a flower stalk that has emerged in the last day or so, so to all you experts out there, is this Thrinax radiata based on the flowers?? :)

Bruce, your Thrinax (radiata?) flowering sure looks like my Thrinax radiata. While I don't have a pic of mine in flower I did take one of the infructescense.

Here is a pic of it.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Palms not just a tree also a state of mind
