Those flowers will, eventually, lead to seeds. First, it will need to flower, and get pollinated, which will happen with nature. After this point, you will notice the flowers fading, and in their place will be where the seed will grow.

None of the websites mention that very important part of the process. Thanks again
Thank you for your advice. I will check the attachment
It turned brown and is soft so it’s dead
What would cause a foxtail palm tree trunk to develop a circumferential tear right above ground level? The tear has widened and caved in where it first started. Two fronds are yellowed and will drop soon. The palm was planted one year ago and another tree planted at the same time is doing well. Is there anything we can do to save this palm?
This appears to be no cause for concern, but if you are still concerned that the soil may be infected, then you can use some wettable sulfur around the tree to help.
Some time ago, I asked and was answered that the reproductive organs on my Foxtail Palm trees would fall off when they were done blooming. They did not. My question is if they don't fall off on their own, can I cut them off safely? They are pretty ugly at this point. Thank you.
Yes, you can cut them off. They will fall off naturally, and it will take some time, but cutting them off will not pose any harm. You may even take an extra measure and wipe the cut spots with peroxide to be sure that an infection does not set in. Otherwise, there will be no issue cutting them off.
We have 2 mature Foxtail Palms in our garden on The Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and each has produced 2 seed pods that have now produced 2 large branches that carried the seeds ( now gone). Is it possible to prune these seed branches off the trunk or will they self clean like the fronds do?
Eventually, these will clean themselves, but there will be no harm in removing them yourself at any time you wish.
Here is an article on the care of these palms: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/foxtail-palm/foxtail-palm-tree.htm
what kind of can get in zone 11 thank you
Foxtail palms should do well in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 11 with good soil and water management.
But Homoassa Florida is not Zone 11, but Zone 9a (down to 20F possible) which is too cold for foxtail palm.
How about coconut palm or ponytail palm?

We have a foxtail that was growing beautiful until 12mths ago. It just stopped shooting new fronds. We read to give it an application of potash but 3 mths later still no signs of any new fronds. The trunk stands about 3mtrs tall and has 4 fronds which have been there, for 12mths. We thought it was dying as the fronds are very droopy hanging but they are all still green. Can you give me any advice why our foxtail hasn't shot any new fronds for over 12mths?
This can have a few causes. If there has been a little cooler than normal lately, then this could be the reason. If this is not the case, Then I would apply a fertilizer meant for palms. A google search will take you to many options.
