One of my potted Chamaerops humilis strted to bloom. It's very first time to me to see that process - so I have some questions: 1. Is it male or female form? 2. What to do with it? Nothing? wait and see? Collect? Can you help me? http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5381/imgp000180.jpg http://img24.im...
