Field Notes

Description:

Saw palmetto have been blooming for a couple of weeks now. The plants bloom out of sequence with each other. Photos show the buds and the fully bloomed flowers. Eventually, the flowers turn into small, green, berry-like fruit (that don't photograph very well).

Habitat:

Narrow buffer zone of indigenous plants between apartments and the road in an urban area.

Notes:

I'd never seen saw palmetto blooming before--never even thought about how they reproduced. They're all over the place here in NE Florida.
