More colorful seedlings

Nuff said

Nice, my Heterospathe scitula have colour from the first leaf, although being a bronze colour it doesn't have quite the same impact.  I have noticed a quite pinkish hue on the second leaf of one of them.

 Bravo!!

it looks like it would make a nice salad with some

crotons(croutons ) & balsamic vinegar dressing.

Mike (in Kurtistown),

if I'm not mistaken, those are seeds from the H. intermedia at UH Hilo, during the garden tour there in mid Dec 06? I collected some seeds as well, and here's a shot of my seedlings.

Thanks For showing the Mature palm, Picture looks great.Can anyone guess what the palm was I was considering.

[tim_brissy_13]

Mike, they look a bit like Lemurophoenix, but a lot of seedlings look alike.

[mike in kurtistown]

Just want to confirm that the source was the trees at UH - Hilo. I was collecting right next to Bo. Mike, I have no idea what other possibility you were going to suggest.

Hi Tim

          Have you found another 'sp', nothing like what your

thinking of, And sit your Lemo near another Heterospathe,ya might see not all seedlings look alike. ??? I hope ya Bissys look different,  :laugh:

The other 'sp' I was thinking of or as I said {possible you

may have something better, Shame there not.

They look so much like  D.micrantha,esp at that stage

got 100's of the latter, just was wondering mainly

because of the great colour ya babies have.

        Regards to all.    Mike.E.

I have a bunch of these same plants, from this same palm. With permission, we were allowed to collect seeds there when we were at the biennial. There were some nice palms I remember, while we spent time there.

Can you show the pics, for the guys, of your ones

so they can see growth rate from seedlings to what

size your ones are now at.

       Cheers Mike.E
