A Queen Palm Blooms

I was out on the bike again today and I just couldn't resist this, especially since you don't witness it very often (well, maybe not often enough) and only in a climate like Florida's. This is a bloom of the Cocos Plumosa. First it's encased in a long shell and then—bloom.

I also took this photo with my Helio Drift cellphone and its 2-megapixel camera and then resized and optimized it with Xatio Image Optimizer v5.1.
