I finally got the species once the inflorescence turned red! I added a pic at the end showing it.
That's interesting Alice. Thank you for your comment!
That is called the Inflorescence of the plant. It first flowers and then turns to seeds. I took a picture this morning of another Inflorescence on my Palm trees. I will put it up later.
