Areca macrocalyx in first garden

[doranakandawatta]

Remembering the photos of lovely Areca macrocalyx in some hawaiian gardens, we are looking forward to seeing this reddish color ... or not?

In Sri Lankan wet climate between Colombo and Kandy, seedlings form Hawaii

Seedlings from Floribundapalms, not seeds.

Philippe, looks like you have a real winner. The red is so variable from palm to palm. Here's a pic sort of showing that.

Don't you have good nurseries in Australia?
From what I see on Palmtalk, many good collections are there.
