More reds

[Walter John]

Chambeyronia macrocarpa finally opens

And a little Welfia red

[Walter John]

Here's another angle of that Chamby leaf with the jungle behind I thought you might appreciate. I do, that's for bleeding sure.

Never go wrong posting a photo of either. Love that welfia's burgundy new leaf & the chambey has some great color as well. I like all the reds.

Very nice Wal.  My little Welfia is shaded quite heavily.  I may have to get it more sun exposure this spring.

Don,

Welcome to the IPS Forum! My experience is that Chambeyronias will show red on the new frond from a fairly young age, but the color is somewhat dull, only to become brighter as the plant gets bigger (not that same frond, but newer fronds). As far as Areca vestiaria, they WILL show a strong color from a very young age. Interestingly, though, lots of variability between different plants. If you take 100 seeds from the very same palm, the resulting seedlings will be very different. Some will display a brilliant red color, and others will not.
