"The Beginning of Something New" - a photo on Flickriver

            Chamaedorea elegans flower bud.

A macro study of one section of the inflorescence of a Parlor Palm.  The tiny flowers are diecious (male or female on separate plants).

"An inflorescence, in a flowering plant, is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a system of branches.  An inflorescence is categorized on the basis of the arrangement of flowers on a main axis (peduncle) and by the timing of its flowering (determinate and indeterminate)." 

"One can also define an inflorescence as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern."

"Inflorescences are described by many different characteristics including how the flowers are arranged on the peduncle, the blooming order of the flowers, and how different clusters of flowers are grouped within it. These terms are general representations as plants in nature can have a combination of types. Because flowers facilitate plant reproduction, inflorescence characteristics are largely a result of natural selection."  (Wikipedia)
