You've probably heard of Spaghetti Squash,

but have you heard of Shaghetti Palm?!?!
I don't usually allow my pygmy date seed pods to open up as they are tremendously messy. They got away from me this year, though, and opened up before I realized it! However, what a great opportunity to notice how fascinating the pods, seeds and strands are!
This pod just opened. The seeds are still neatly packed inside.
To enjoy other macro shots, be sure to visit Maia at Macro Flower Pictures for Macro Saturday.
Have a great weekend!

Great shots! I especially like the last photo.Very interesting.
Damn that is cool! Love the photos.
That is amazing! What an interesting plant!
I've never heard of that! So awesome looking! I'm glad they got away on you this year, so you could show us :D
That palm is new to me. What amazing shots!
Wow....I never saw this before, even though we have a lot of Pygmy Palms growing in our area. Kind of cool looking.
I want to thank you for your thoughtful comments :-)
I've never seen that seed pod before. Especially not in macro! It is really cool looking. I like the comparison to the spaghetti squash. You always think of the neatest presentations.
Those really are interesting shots...I haven't seen anything quite like that before!
You always post such interesting photos; what an interesting plant! Great photo with the seed pod too, I've never seen something like this either.
Thanks for sharing these great pics on Macro Flowers Saturday!
Exquisite strands, flowing freely to amaze us. Beautiful. ~bangchik
They do produce quite a fancy bloom. It must take a lot of energy. I've cut mine off this year so the palms can put their energy into producing new leaves to replace the ones damaged by the cold weather. Some great shots!
Neat! I've never seen that one before.
