Couple of Handsome Palms

[realarch]

Just stellar palms and their scale is perfect. Been one of my favorites for a couple of days anyway.

Always tidy, clean, and colorful. Not particularly rare, but particularly beautiful.

There is a water bottle for scale in one of the photos.

Name of palms? 

[realarch]

Pinanga maculata. The little tag under the topic title shows the genus and species name.

I  still have not a single one of these! Maybe 2017 will be the year? They are just magnificent Tim!

I remembered seeing a group in Nong Nooch, Thailand at the 2010 IPS Biennial that was magical too.

Anything anyone can tell me about growing them that is different from other Pinangas which seem to love it in PR? 

So far this species takes a look at me and that's it, they die within a month or two. Of course the biggest one I have ever gotten to try was in a four inch pot, but same with my other easy to grow Pinangas....
