doranakandawatta 2,820 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Hello Andrew, Your rain forest looks good! c Can you show us more pics? What is the very little one in front on pic "front2" a Licuala seedling? Is the strong palm middle of the first pic a B. condapanna? nice Licuala on this pic. Pinanga coronata on "front2"? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrew968 1,607 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 It probably needs it's own thread, but for now I will debut it under this one. I planted this palm just before Mother's Day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the strong palm middle of the first pic a B. condapanna? nice Licuala on this pic. Pinanga coronata on "front2"? The little seedling is a Licuala orbicularis, so great guess. My Condapannas are at my father's place and in full sun. Spot on with the Pinanga coronata ID. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennybenjamin 467 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 I think the strong plant in photo 1 is C. houailou, with a large L. Grandis to the left and what looks to be Calyptrocalyx albertsiana to the back ish right?? I have no idea on the smaller palm in the front centre though or which licuala sp. are present..... Maybe L. ramsayii on the left? I would also guess the palm is post 14 has C.A as its initials. Your gardens are looking V. nice!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The initials are correct and Steve is not letting me down either. I will get some more photos up soon, guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quaman58 1,982 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 Great garden & pictures Andrew. So I have to ask: where did your A. rubra come from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrew968 1,607 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 It came from a good friend, and he got it from Reunion(not sure they still send them, but they were defoliated and barerooted--poor survival rate). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan.vagnoni 20 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Ellis Brown at Redlands has a nice crop of A. rubra and A. Crinita coming up. Maybe he got the seeds at a similar time? Edited May 20, 2013 by dan.vagnoni Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mandrew968 1,607 Report post Posted November 15, 2013 Here is a photo of my two Chamaedorea tuerckheimii. The one in the foreground is the female and the one behind it is a male. They are nestled in between a deckeriana and a brachypoda. The neat little palm to the left of them is a Calyptrocalyx julianettii. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cobra2326 47 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Mandrew, How long has the P. phillipinensis been in the ground for you? Mine came out of hawaii looking super colorful like that, but have slowly lost their color. I can't figure out it if's light or temperature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrew968 1,607 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Gosh, I would have to say almost 2 years if not that long. I have a couple others in the nursery--I think they go through stages of color like a Satakentia crownshaft--sometimes you catch it with that great reddish purple, and other times it's just greenish brown.

cobra2326 47 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks! I've had mine for just about a year now, and it's probably only lost a single leaf. I'll keep an eye out once a leaf falls off. It looks like yours is in very deep shade, which may play a factor too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrew968 1,607 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Shade, yes--most if not all Pinangas need it. It's not very deep though--you can read next to it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
