u/Arecaeca

Was pleasantly surprised the other morning to discover a fantastic scent coming from the male flower of one of my Chams-it was sweet and almost had a sandalwood smell. When I returned to the palm in the same afternoon the scent was gone and the reddish brownish orange (photo 1) had given way to a more yellow and lighter orange (photo 2)...although two of the branches of the inflorescence has retained the earlier color. I only wish I had a time lapse of the event.
