Gbarce 957 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 The recent rains have been good to the plants and they're looking a lot more lush. Seems like all the palms are opening new leaves and showing significant increase in size. Tahina Spectabilis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gbarce 957 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 A recent storm damaged the older leaves (and totally wrecked all the leaves on another one) of this Licuala Sumawongii. This new leaf is a sight for sore eyes. What new leaves are opening in your neck of the woods? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moose 1,458 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Here is my contribution to the thread ... Actinokentia divaricata taken last night. Taken this morning. This does not happen often as this is a slow palm. Moose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gbarce 957 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Nice! First time I've heard of that palm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moose 1,458 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Nice! First time I've heard of that palm. Gene - it is from New Caledonia. Not encountered often but they are around. Very slow and not on the inexpensive side as well due to that slow growth. Best regards, Ron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ariscott 48 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Everything is looking so nice with the rain, Gene... I can't wait till mine starts... My Tahina is just sitting there quietly, waiting for the soil to warm up & humidity to rise... At least it is still alive after being attacked by horses Jeff, Gorgeous Metroxylon!!

Gbarce 957 Report post Posted August 7, 2010 Ari- Yeah the constant moisture makes them grow like they are on steroids. And by the way --NO FAIR!! Show us your new leaves! You have a few rare ones I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gbarce 957 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 Gileno- You have enough palms to start a full blown nursery! How big is the Dypsis pinnatifrons? It looks like it already has fully developed mature looking leaves. Mine are still in the skinny leaf stage and the leaves are still green when they come out. They are suppose to be red when they emerge right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
