As I walked by one of my windows, I noticed a nice Chambeyronia spear about ready to open. Just 15 minutes later I noticed it was already well on its way. So I decided to take a couple of pics 24 hours apart just to see how fast it opened. Here they are.

And for perspective, the frond is about 9-10 ft long. I'm taking the shots off of the lanai. These were the first palms I planted here about 3 years ago. Just so I could have them do this when they got taller, right outside my windows.

Dean,

Yes, that's an excellent location! I remember seeing them at the HIPS meeting in June. And great shots!

I have a Burretiokentia koghiensis that's also opening up a nice red frond right now, but it's surrounded by other New Caledonia palms AND it's 25 ft up, so no way!!

Kris,

Ferns do not reproduce by seed. They grow from spores. It can be a very complicated and tricky process. There is a fern society that used to send spore to people who wanted it. But you should do some research before you decide to try it.

Ah, dean, that spear rocks!

9-10 feet!  Wow, I'm looking forward to the day when my specimens get that big.

Looks like it ought to be sail on a mythical sailing ship to heaven or something . . . .

That is a pretty red.

Not many are that Fire-engine color.  The most common color, in my experience is that dark burgundy.
