Hey Harry, thanks! That is a good word.

Yours is gorgeous, my 3 all died, must not like my dust bowl here…

Had a twofer on red leaves opening yesterday; Chambey and Archontophoenix 

[Palmiz]

Hope this Lafamazanga keeps this feature, is it true that if it doesn't have the silvery undersides, it's not pure?

First color of the year for any of my palms.  This one is Chambeyronia macrocarpa var. 'hookeri'.  It's opened a bit more since this picture.  Love this palm.  It's small only about 6 feet to the top of the fronds.

Some nice color on this Chrysalidocarpus Sp. Baby Red Stem that I planted today

 

[Harry’s Palms]

Although these are common , even here in SoCal , the color of the Golden Cane really stands out in the garden. 

[Tracy]

A little color popping up over my wall and gate.  It was beautiful watching this newly opening leaf blowing in the wind as the storm blew in yesterday afternoon.

Areca catechu ‘dwarf’ in a good friend’s yard. It was spectacular.

I haven't added anything in here for a while, so here's some maroon and a little red; a little more maroon and red with a smidge of brown; and some orange.

C. Elagans bolak

My Chrysalidocarpus (Dypsis) decipiens is still quite small, but is colorful. Waking up to spring with a new leaf. I ignore it since it's doing fine without any unnecessary attention. Will grow into the sun where it is, but that'll take years.

[realarch]

Dypsis marojejyi. 

Tim

[JohnAndSancho]

Red. I like red. 

[realarch]

Calyptrocalys leptostachys. I’ve posted numerous photos of these little palms and will do so until I’m no longer breathing.

Third inflorescence on my plowmanii.

Pinanga densiflora. Not in my garden

Hi there,

I just liked the intensity of (all) the colors when looking at it...

Center, B. nicobarica after a boot came off today.

Oh sorry - me again...

But, "you can't beat the view..."

Hookeri looking especially contrast against the L. decora. Love the orangish-red. 

[Matt in OC]

D. Marojejyi flower spathe getting ready to open. 😍

[realarch]

And yet again…….Lemurophoenix maturing nicely.

Tim, I'm trying to recall if that puppy has flowered for you yet?  She/he/it is a beefy beauty.

[realarch]

Hey Tracy, hasn’t flowered yet! Maybe in a few more years.

It's burning up in this summers sun.

Hi,

I had to bump this thread with...

...these images, taken yesterday and today.

Everyone’s favorite

Finally the reveal that makes this palm so special. Been awhile since this Dictyocaryum lamarckianum has shed a leaf sheath, still waiting for the one on the right to do the same. Somewhat surprised how much they have slowed down over the last few years.

Slowing down at that size is nice to keep those crownshafts at eye level. One of the wonders of palm world!

Has the crownshaft colour improved over the years? Mine are just trunking but very pale! Thanks for sharing your amazing collection once again.

[realarch]

Rich, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. These Dictyocaryum have always had good color, even as young juveniles. The color does vary after a frond drop, from a soft blue to a more light purple blue. The color also seems to be specimen specific, the one in the photo typically has more of a purple hue, while the one on the right more blue.  I used to have another one, also more blue, but it was always puny and seemed to be penciling out, I removed it. ( quite a luxury eh?)

Nowadays I get about one frond a year which is slower than previous years, at least that’s my perception.

The photo attached was taken about ten years ago shortly after the palms started trunking.

Pinanga colors

[realarch]

Bentinckia condapanna

Tim

[Tracy]

Burretiokentia kogihensis.  It isn't as vibrant as some of its fellow New Caledonia palms but it still provides some color in the garden.

[realarch]

I always thought this was Calyptrocalyx elegans, but now I’m not so sure. Anyway, it’s been looking nice lately.

Tim

[realarch]

Pinanga caesia

Lanonia dasyantha

Basselinia eriostachys

New frond opening on kentiopsis pyriformis.  Dendrobium orchid photobombing on the right.

Hi,

same old but always fascinating...

Opened up two days ago, C. macrocarpa.
