Ooooh truly splendid-a. One of the best palms on earth. I can't plant enough of them! That is a gorgeous specimen and you should be proud!

Rich, you are "slowly" showing us what palms you are growing which is great as it keeps us keen to see your next thread, keep it up.

btw Beautiful Verschaffeltia you are growing, wish they where a 'goer' here but nah far too cold in winter.

These are beautiful palms at any age, but particularly at this stage when about head height. When they get older, the trunk and stilt roots become the most prominent feature. A stunning palm.

Richie,

Does your Verschaffeltia get nice colored new leaves too? ( http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/42912-splendid-verschaffeltia-splendida/?hl=verschaffeltia)

How old is your plant? What are the other species around it?

Thanks,

Looking forward to seeing more pics from you. :)
