Dried Date Palm InflorescenceAvailable While supplies last. Description The inflorescence of a date palm (species unknown) whose form resembles something from under the sea. Curvy, flattened stalk reflect gravity's former pull, while the peduncle an extensive network of short, wiry, pointed branches are covered in knobby joints that once bore flowers and then fruit. These limbs are fascinating up close and resemble the tentacles of an octopus. Faded taupe colouring throughout.
