New Leaf Thread --we haven't had one in a while

[Gbarce]

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

[Gbarce]

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?

[Gbarce]

Last one for now: Pinanga Aristata

[Xenon]

Your palms look great!

Jonathan

[Gbarce]

Coccothrinax Miraguama but I think this is actually a hybrid

[Gbarce]

Closer look

[Gbarce]

Copernicia fallaensis. The newer leaves are distinctly taller-- had a growth spurt ever since I put it in the ground this year.

[Gbarce]

I'm not sure what kind of coccothrinax this is but the leaves are very very stiff

[Gbarce]

Dwarf Areca Catechu

Nice and stubby looking

Nice well grown palms! I like the Pianga aristata's new leaf!

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

[Gbarce]

Nice!

First time I've heard of that palm.

[Moose]

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.

Hey Gene, Nice photos!

Here are a few taken today

Metroxylon warburgii

[Jeff in St Pete]

Salacca wallichiana new bronzy leaf

Unknown Chamaedorea

[Jeff in St Pete]

Tahina spectabilis - new leaf opened this week

[Jeff in St Pete]

Last one..

New leaf of Verschaffeltia splendida - growing near the beach

[Gbarce]

MooseKnuckle- That one hasn't made its way here yet.

Jeff in Costa Rica -I like your selection of palms. Gorgeous color on the Metroxylon. I only have M.vitiense only comes out green. Is that unknown Chamaedorea Sp. endemic to Costa Rica?

[Gbarce]

Also have a V. Splendida with a new leaf this week.

Artsy fartsy with the shadow of a Woodvetchia Bifurcata

[Gbarce]

Kerriodoxa Elegans. New leaves are now way above my head already. Jumped up a few feet from the previous ones

[Gbarce]

Liciala Ramsaii-- This onse is fighting for air space. The kerriodoxa is crowding him out.

[Gbarce]

Phoenecorpium Borgsianum- great contrast between the green and the orange edges and mid rib

[amazondk]

You guys have some nice looking palms.

[Gbarce]

These two photos show the variations between plants within the same species. J. Altifrons with skinny leaves-- I am even wondering if this might be a lanceolata

[Gbarce]

another Joey altifrons that has a distinctly wider leaf -- this one reminds me of Joey magnifica except that it doesnt have the dilver undersides.

This one is still in a pot

[Gbarce]

Areca vestiara red leaf form. I killed a few because I put them on too sunny a spot and they didn't survive summer. This one might be my sole survivor.\

[ariscott]

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!!

Regards, Ari

[Gbarce]

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.

[Daryl]

Great photos everyone!

[Gileno Machado]

Great thread.

A few of mine:

Snow White and the two dwarfs:

[Gileno Machado]

Attalea oleifera "windows"; Attalea funifera:

[Gileno Machado]

D. pinnatifrons; the battle of Joeys:

[Gileno Machado]

Palm ave.; Chambey to go:

[Gileno Machado]

Pritchardia pacifica; coconut water anyone?

[Gileno Machado]

Arenga hookeriana; charming trio (Pelagodoxa, Areca, Arenga):

[Gbarce]

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?

[Gbarce]

Pritchardia Pacifica. Probably the best looking speceis in the Genus
