hybrid pineapple?
Hm. It looks like something like that, right?
Start of a King Palm?
Ha! That's kind of amazing. My first thought was an ear of corn. But that could be because I'm from Nebraska...
it's an alien - you should report it to the authorities immediately! :P
It looks like a sago palm-- specifically, a male polination cone. They develop these giant cones when they split. So one palm will for into a double-headed palm. But, they appear to have trimmed all the leaves off the palm. That's why it looks so funky monkey.
AHA! That may be it!
I think Jessika is right... it looks like a palm with all the fronds chopped of so you can see its 'boy parts'
Just be glad it isn't that plant in Kew Gardens, London, that smells like a rotting corpse when it blooms :)
That is really really weird. We have a corpse flower in WI at the Mitchell Domes...so creepy and cool at the same time! It bloomed in 2008, never know when it will again.
what the.... I'm gonna go with Jessika on this one. She sounds like she knows what she's talking about.
Yup, Sago Palm... which isnt really a palm. That is indeed the pollen cone and all the leaves have been cut off unfortunately. As for it being the beginning of it forking....no. Just blooming.
