Over 10,000 sago palm trees of various species have burst into bloom at a garden in Nanning, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Among them, an over 1,360-year-old one stands out, faithfully marking another flowering season.
Flowers of sago palm trees usually adorn the apex of their trunk, presenting a striking spectacle with the staminate ones resembling pagodas and the pistillate ones forming spherical clusters.
