A couple of big Chrysalidocarpus hybrids dropped leaves today showing some nice coloring. 
 

This is Chrysalidocarpus Robustus hybrid:

And here’s Chrysalidocarpus Hovomantsina Hybrid showing its first flower after a leaf drop.  The inflorescence cover is almost black which really stands out from the white crown shaft.

You are right @Hilo Jason, the coloring on that hybrid is super cool. I had no idea Hovo’s get that coloring, even being a hybrid. Buenò!!

In addition to the nice colors, the large ring spaces stand out to me.  That vigorous display of growth in Hawaiian grown specimens.   Well grown and happy palms Jason!

Another leaf drop happened today showing hybrid color and strange splitting behavior. I bought this as Chrysalidocarpus Malcomberi hybrid.

entire plant from the other side of the fence. This was a single trunk palm when initially planted about 3 years ago.

I'm impressed by your C. hovomantsina hybrid! In particular that the leaves remain green all the way down to the tips. Not the case with mine....

thanks Kim. Would love to see a photo of yours. I haven’t seen any Hovomantsina hybrids around besides this one so would be great to see another.

Oh, mine isn't a hybrid, but you have me wishing it were.
