Few weeks ago, I noticed that this coconut tree was about to flower as the shell of the flowers had appeared between the stem and leafy palm branches (photo1)
Two days ago, the flower has appeared breaking forth the shell.
In the third photo, the globular projections on the flower are the coconut fruits in formation.
We planted this coconut tree four years ago and it is still at the ground level with healthy looking palm leaves all around the stem.
Anna and and I watched this sight with delight and gratitude.
Anna wanted to have coconut trees at our height. Then we can pluck the coconuts on our own! It has happened now.
