Unexpected Surprise



Back in October we were excited to discover that Xanthorrhoea johnsonii
was producing a flower stalk.

The bend in the stalk continually changed direction, probably in response to the sun.
As we have heard that flowers are only produced once every 7 years or after a fire we were feeling quite fortunate.






 
The flower stalk grew quite quickly compared to the slow growth of the plant. We have collected some seeds but there is not much hope of substantial size plants in our life time. Or is there?
