wah!Amazing!!!
I never thought u r a palm tree lover!
Two 79 years old Talipot palms Corypha umbraculifera in the Singapore Botanical Gardens’ Palm Valley is putting up their Once-in-a-Lifetime flowering.
The inflorescense has already emerged and will continue to bloom throughout December, afterwhich the palms will die.
Go and experience the spectacle for yourself (the palms are about 50ft tall without the blooms), but as usual here’s some pics to entease…

Serious? They grow to 79 years old, flower and die? What a loser for a tree... I mean, trees' lifespan are supposed to be almost eternal, right?... That's quite sad...

actually some palms are terminal flowering, that means the flower spike grows from the terminal apex, after which there can be no more leaves. quite a few palms do that.
where do you think you get your sago huh? look up Metroxylon sagu.

Was always under the impression that trees can last almost forever, unless it was killed by lightning, lack of water or sickness or other human-induced causes... Never thought a big tree can die off after flowering...
Sago? Isn't that from the Sago tree bark?
