Not to compare with the thickness of the tomentum of a Butia eriospatha´s spathe:

Congratulations Alberto. Patrick has been hybridizing the Cocoids for about 10 years, and as far as I know, yours is the first to bloom. The spathe on yours looks exactly like the mother palm. The spathes tend to be long and thin and covered with the thin tomentum. The spathes on the mother palm can sometimes be 5 feet long. When they open the spathes on the mother are bright magenta on the inside and the flowers are also magenta. Your hybrid should be easy to cross with one of your super Syagrus.

The only Patrick cocoid hybrid that I have that may bloom this year or the next is the Butia X Parajubaea. I'll bring out bells and trumpets when it does bloom.

Alberto,

The only difference that I can see is that the mother plants flowers are a deeper color of magenta. Also the mother plants spathes are bright pink or magenta on the inside for a few days after they open, and it appears yours are cream colored.

Alberto,

I forgot to mention thats an excellent photo of the inflorescence and spathe. For a first bloom it looks like a very healthy and robust inflorescence. It will be interesting to see if it sets seeds with its own pollen, or do you plan to hybridize it?

I was also curious if it has steryl pollen like its mother... Sometimes the first inflorescene do not produce seeds.And I didn´t collect the pollen. Maybe from the following infl.

Alberto,

The pollen on Butia X Jubaea is not really sterile as the pollen will set seeds on Butia and Syagrus. It is only self sterile. It remains to be seen if your Butia X Jubaea X (Butia) will be self sterile.
