Blooming Lace




My tropical garden is full of surprises and unusual floral blooms. Thus is the case for the Robelini, a Florida Palm. On these lovely small trees, clusters of pods can be seen for several days and then as if by magic they begin breaking open. Shown in the photos are spectacular lace like blooms with hundreds of gorgeous tiny little cream colored florettes. I'm finding it difficult when describing how nature in reproducing, can be so magnificent.click on photos...
