Cycadjungle, TY. Just to make sure, you mean the pic from Feb 18, 2015 8:44 AM CST?

Cheryl, Cool! There has to be a pollen source (male plant) nearby for a dioceious palm to be pollinated. Either one of your trees must be a boy, or the one making seeds is a monoecious type, not C. elegans.

I'd love to see a pic of your sprouts! Did you plant the seeds on purpose, or did they just fall on their own? I pulled the seeds off of mine yesterday & sprinkled them into 2 diff pots. They had been that same dark color & same size for almost 2 mos. We'll see if anything comes up... If I can learn to recognize the male/female flowers, maybe I can get more seeds to form via manual pollination. Not that I need more palms, but it just sounds like fun to do. I'm sure they'll find a home if I am "too successful." Doubtful, seeds hate me!
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
