Seeing a half dozen of these on my Arenga engleri clump, each bigger than a basketball, kind of makes me hungry for candy.  As a bonus, when they flower the sweet peachy-mango fragrance fills my yard.

Ron,

That bunch of seeds of A. engleri is way cool looking. I have one of these and can't wait till mine start flowering and producing seeds like that. I wasn't aware of the fragrant flowers either. That is another great bonus to look forward to. Thanks for posting the pic.

Iguanura bicornis the photo is not that good but if you look hard you can see the two little horns on the end of the seed. :)

Clayton,

I can see the horns on these and have not seen a seed like that before. Unusual.

On the Pinanga Aristata, why are the seeds bagged? Animals eating them or keeping bugs off? Just curious.

Roger

Hi Roger

The bag is there to stop the birds eating the seed also any other animals that might like to try some as well, it also stops any getting lost as they ripen and fall off. If I get the chance I will list some more photos soon as there are many species with seed set on at the moment, I just have to get the chance to take some photos! :)

Hi Roger,

I don't think this palm will disappoint you.  I don't really understand why it's not more common, especially for us north central folks...cold hardy, lush and tropical looking, yet fits on a suburban lot with fragrant flowers and colorful fruit.  Only downside is it's a little slow to mature; probably not the best commercial palm, but worth it if you can wait.
