Agree with Steve. What a great new leaf. At first, I thought it was a stretched dark mealy.

Isn't it funny how Laccospadix and Howea have so many similarities. Even the seed stalks look identical.

Those who said Howea are correct. It's a Howea forsteriana and the place is Lord Howe Island. I saw a few coloured young individuals there but this was by far the most colourful in the garden at Arajilla hotel. To me it looks a bit like Kentiopsis pyriformis as well.

Crazy, Ive never seen a Howea with such a red leaf. Very cool.

I missed out on the purchase of a red Howea forsteriana last month when it got snapped up by a fellow palm enthusiast. The new leaf was almost as red as a Chambeyronia and all of its leaf stems were deep red. It was a stunning palm!

Unfortunately they grow out of it. It's really nice while it lasts though. At the local garden centre I'll occasionally take a look at there Howeas and if there are reds in there I snap them up. Haven't seen any for a while though.
