Proper little palm

[realarch]

Nifty little palm from Papua New Guinea. So clean and proper looking, good scale for the garden, and attractive leaves.

I would think it would make a great container plant too.  

The larger one is almost impossible to photograph and I need to do some 'editing'. The smaller one is almost perfect at this point.

Is that Hydriastele dransfieldii ?

Now I see the tag! 

I have 15 little ones that I hope to form a H. Dransfieldii grove.

Hi Scott,

I always forget how small that tag is and to restate it in the post.

A grove of these sounds pretty sweet.......you'd better post some photos or I'll come visit.

Tim, I was going to hazard a guess of H. dransfieldii but lost my nerve. It looks just like the one I planted in my jungle after it started to outgrow our birdcage. In deep shade but still has gotten a bit of sunburn at times. A great palm that grew amazingly well for me.

Tim , those new rock paths that I posted have been a blessing and a curse.

They have opened up new "undeveloped" areas that are crying for plants. I wake up at night thinking what to plant and where.

Thankfully I am a nonstop seed germinating machine so I have lots of new palms etcetera to plant   Out.

Thank you Tim, 

We rarely can see posts about Hydriastele genus. 

I just sow Hydriastele dransfieldii, I hope they'll germinate.

Any other Hydriastele in your garden?  ( I started a "Hydriastele corne " in Puwakawatta but I lost the labels... Stupid!)

Scott, palm passion is like 'Jungle Fever', it never seems to break. Once you contract, it can persist for life.

I still germinate seed even though I'm almost out of room........can't seem to help myself.

Philippe, I hope your H. Dransfieldii germinate as well, good luck.

I do have a few Hydriastele in the garden and will post photos soon.

We also can help you ID the palms with lost tags, happens to all of us.

Tim , I have a bucket list of palms in my head and have been known to pull the car to the curb to read a new seed list from RPS.

I am most interested now in understory palms and many Hydriastelele sp. seem perfect.

So, if I come knock on your gate, will you let me in? Do I need to bring palm seed.

Palm seeds will help. I am not highly social.

Geese Scott, you're killing me!

Garden and H. dransfieldii pictures will.do.

At the beach it's easier to make contact.

The highland garden has high walls with electrified razor wire and armed guards . Not too friendly and inviting .

Lovely palm Tim!
