    It is a Sago, but that is not the flower. That is a new frond unfurling, and it is signalling that it does not have quite enough light! Even when it does flower, it will not produce seeds. Male and female flowers reside on separate plants, so you would need both for that to happen.

    Does your garage have a window for sunlight? If so, you can try overwintering it there as long as it stays frost free. Same on the shed if it stays above freezing and has a window for light. Do you have a room inside that no one uses and the door could be kept shut, keeping the pets out? Maybe you have a basement the pets don't frequent. Do you have a nearby friend or relative who would keep it for you over winter?

    Those odd growths are the new fronds reacting to low light. Locate it where it gets a few hours of full sun or brighter light than it is getting.

    It is, in fact, a frond. It is, however, lacking light. If you cannot put it in full sun, then you may need a grow light of about 100 watts or greater to put over it.
