Walter John 214 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 That is simply amazing, I never even knew Dypsis 'ovobontsira' pumped out red like that. Looking lush down there Mike. Have the kids been using up the internet allowance Daryl ? This will frustrate a lot of people on palmtalk wanting to see your garden updates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ariscott 48 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 You know that you can log out and login back as you, Mike . Or Daryl is actually posting the photos?? BTW, the garden is coming along... You should take photos of the new addition of the garden. And the Dypsis 'ovobontsira' Dark Mealybug is nice.. I didn't know they had red new growth.

newcal 7 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Nothing wrong with my internet Ari, it's just that Daryl can download more photos in fewer posts than i can. Thanks Wal, the garden is looking good at the moment especially with all the rain/showers we're getting....lets see how it looks after winters past!...Cheers Mike Green(NEWCAL) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wal- I thought you saw my small one from about 2 years ago. I just planted this finally about 2 months ago, I'll show a leaf then... (Mike yours looks awesome!) Also Mike, I think your "robusta" is what Dransfield has said is "tokoravina". Its that grouped leaflets thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newcal 7 Report post Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks for the great comments fellas.

(Mike yours looks awesome!) I don't recall Bill to be perfectly honest, looks great. That means that mine should be turning this colour next new leaf, kind of bronzy last time.
