Despite having had all the leaves frozen off, one of my Trachycarpus fortunei (Windmill Palm) decided to bloom. I guess that since last year was so good to it, the wheels were in motion and it couldn't stop. I've decided to cut off the flowers since blooming might deplete whatever last reserves the plant might have and do it in. The leaves are growing back, although slowly, but that's better than dead.
Probably a good idea to trim the flowering back some, Dr. Monocot! That is nice to see; wish I had time to cruise all of Abq looking at the many other Trachycarpus, to see their progress.
