Sowing a few seeds lytocarum insigne chamaedoreas benziei

[happypalms]

A lovely gift of some nice seeds of palms worth growing. Both varieties are beautiful in the garden adding to the tropical look. Lytocarum are an easy palm to grow in my climate and the chamaedorea are even easier to grow. A few months time I should have a few seedlings to pot up if all goes well. So thank you Gary Daly for the gift of seeds much appreciated.

OCD at its best in my brain. That and I love plants. 🌱

Both such great species. Slot in easily into any garden even smaller spaces. I’ve been on the hunt for insigne for a while. I’ll be annoying you in a couple of years 😆

They are great palms. Iam sure we can work out a deal if you haven’t swapped your arms or legs for a rhizomatosa🤣

I had a Benizei a few years back. Paid a nice price for it, too. 

 

I don't think it liked Texas summer heat. 😬

You don’t see them for sale around my area that’s for sure. Most likely lack of humidity that got it. Nothing worse than killing some good Benjamin’s on a rare palm. And from what I see about Texan heat I don’t think I would  like it either.

I shoulda found space inside. It was trunking and flowered twice before it cooked. Anyway live and learn.
