Well, the weather has warmed up and all the palms are starting to really kick in now and are opening new leaves all over the place. Here's a couple from my garden that are on a march...

Don, The first palm is Lemurophoenix halleuxii, a little yellow on the older leaf due to last winter's brutality. The new leaf is actually pink-bronze, but the photo doesn't capture it.

The last is a young D.lanceolata, which is not bothered by our cold.

The middle ones are of my Dypsis 215, also not bothered by our cold last year.

Bill, did you get those seed that I sent you?

JD, This is not a hybrid. The seed was collected in Madagascar a while ago now. Here is a photo of the parent plant...

Daryl, your garden is awesome as it always is. That Dypsis sp 215 is really something awesome. If you ever have too many seed form that one Daryl I'll buy a few, or even one or two. :)

That 215 is awsome Daryl. I can see your pigafetta in the background in one of your latter shots. Pulling through this winter a lot better.

Is that a Beccariophoenix fine leaf next to the 215 in the first 215 photo.

Its great with the warmer weather seeing palm throwing leaves left right and centre.

I agree Brod, great time, and with some rain soon, this Spring and Summer seasons could be some of the best in a long long time. Daryl I'm looking forward to another visit to your place soon, I must say that utilis is making a statement these days.

Here's some more angles of my Dypsis lanceolata.

Does anyone think the 215 might be Dypsis heteromorpha? My heteromorpha has the fuzzy red tomentum on it at a young age. I'll try posting pics later.

Here's another lanceolata I have at home, it does not grow so well, too much shade most of the time, these guys want full sun. It's new leaves go a caramel colour as you can see.

Hi Brod, yes the winter this year was much kinder to my piggie. No freezing temperatures sure helps!

And yes, that was my Beccarriophoenix madagascariensis next to the 215. It is a little too close for my liking, but they seem to co-exist well so far.

Here is another young one growing nearby. They are a little slow off the mark here and the rest of the garden has grown up around them unfortunately. I just hope they don't get too shaded. These plants are a few years old from seed now, but seem to get faster as they get older.

Thanks for the comments everyone. That 215 certainly is one of my favourites!

Len, you are welcome to visit anytime, as is any other palmtalk member.

Bill, if this thing ever sets fruit you are on the list. Maybe start grabbing every D.heteromorpha just in case!

Wal, you can come down anytime...bring your shovel.

Was lucky enough to pick one of these up recently. The ones for sale at the PACSOA show in Brisbane went in a matter of minutes. Showing some colour at an early age.

That 215....what a looker!

Posted

A quick update on his plant...

I sold my old place about 2 1/2 years ago, and managed to take the 215 with me. We dug it up and put it in a massive pot. It lived in the pot until just over 12 months ago, in a sheltered, shady spot at FM Newcal's place.

It has now been in the ground in my new garden for just over 12 months, in a much more exposed position, receiving full sun all day, and occasional stiff breezes (planted with love of course!)

Interesting observations...in the shade it lost most of the red tomentum on old and new growth. Obviously the leaves stretched and got 'soft'. Since re-planting in its new home, the new leaves have become very leathery and semi-glaucous. All of the new growth is covered in red fur, and it is getting its character back. Probably another 12 months until it has shed all of the 'shady growth' and starts to look 100%. 

As for the seed, we ended up with not as many seed as I'd have liked, but nonetheless, a small amount appeared viable (first time it had fruited properly). As there were not many I didn't distribute them, and they were germinated locally by Andy Green (the Germinator). We ended up with about 20 seedlings, and as they get larger are being distributed.

Fortunately, there are new inflorescences appearing on the plant, so maybe we will have another batch soon!

Still one of my favourite palms!

Daryl
