Little variegated lanonia dasyantha still holding true


Recommended Posts

Posted

I germinated 600 dasyatha and out of that 600 I got one special variegated seedling. At first I didn’t pay much attention to this little seedling but I still kept an eye on it noting  where it was in with its cousins. Sitting there growing like the rest it started to continue to hold its variegated leaves each new leaf still had variegation. Either one in million or a freak of nature it will be one special little plant if it holds onto its variegation. Iam sure if it does stay true iam sure it will be one little palm that would be wanted in a collectors garden such as myself.

Pretty distinct marking , I hope it holds onto that as it grows . It would be cool to have a variegated one. I would hang onto it if that’s the case. Harry

It’s looking good so far. Time will tell, I don’t think it will be going anywhere except in my garden. Be interesting if I ever get any seeds from it. Definitely be going in a group planting.

I try not to look at it to much just treat it like any other palm. Only in the corner of my eye I know how special this little palm is.

This is awesome! I’ve had only one variegated palm arise from seed, a Calyptrocalyx elegans that is exceptional.

May they produce seed!!

Very cool.  I spied a variegated Nikau seedling on my bush block last week.  Only a 2 leafer but have marked the location so I can go back and check on it.  I have seen many many thousands but never noticed one variegated. It could well grow out of it of course.

I also was lucky enough to get a licuala Ramsayi var tuckerii variegated one as well.

That’s the tricky part you can’t get to excited over them, but it’s hard not too. You just never know when they will revert!

Oh did I forget to mention that, I thought I did already say the entire collection goes to you peachy. How silly of me to forget to tell you please forgive me. I got to show Colin Wilson the other day and he said hold onto that one my response was they will have to pry it from my dead fingers!

Dead fingers I can do !! Everyone was so impressed by my tragic display of grief at my grandmother's funeral. So sad, I lay across her cold little body weeping profusely while twisting  with all my strength to get the diamond ring off the old bat's finger.
