We got some much needed heavy rain yesterday evening. I looked out at my back yard jungle and noticed my Chambeyronia Houailou was sending up a new leaf. Houailous usually don't have as intensely red new leaves as the commoner macrocarpa, but this one is perhaps the most intense my palm has produced. This sturdy palm with lime green leathery leaves is fairly slow growing for me but is finally as tall as I am. Great palm if you can find one.

The first 5 photos were taken last night after rainfall slackened

I took the next 5 photos this morning. One of them is of one of the palm's older green fronds.

Well that is an interesting colour evolution.

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

I get about 1 leaf a year, this is this years effort, the colour did not last long, being midsummer here.

Cheers Steve
