From one of my facebook friends, don't miss this if you can get there:
An enormous Talipot Palm, Corypha umbraculifera, is flowering at Pinecrest Gardens here in South Florida. This palm grows for decades then flowers once, producing millions of delicate golden flowers, then thousands of seeds and then it dies. Another one flowered here years ago and bees produced ca. 200 pounds of honey from the nectar of its flowers! If you have a chance to see this, don't miss it. This is one of the great wonders of nature.
