Seychelles species in monsoon time

[doranakandawatta]

After three months drought, they enjoy the rain, 

Nephrosperma and Phoenicophorium are getting new leaves and nice growth.

Phoenicophorium looks really great and healthy. Do you have any big one in your garden?

Fantastic palms

Seychelles would probably rate as my favourite assemblage of palm species (Lodoicea in Darwin Botanic Gardens in my profile pic) but alas I can not grow any of them in my climate. Your Phoenicophorium is breathtaking great work and I wish I had a spiny palm.

Love the Nephro colour Philippe and Phoenicophoriums  are amongst some of the 1st Palms that evolved here on Earth and their prehistoricness very much stands out.

Thanks for sharing.
