I wonder at the wisdom of having coconuts in the garden. Wind or no wind, the fronds always end up falling down and often breaking plants. And that's not even to mention the nuts. I think all schools here have removed coconuts from their grounds. Mine in the main garden don't fruit but I warn visitors, especially kids, to keep away from where I have the fruiting ones.

Clerodendrum floribundum flowers getting ready to open.
