Some Day to Day Up-dates of this baby !  

[Kris]

here is a close-up of the new spear comming !  

[Kris]

hey guys  

the spear is opening up ! date_2 days old still.

the leaves are becoming more & more ash coloured like the

breha's or bismarkia.and the greenish charastristics are

gradually fading.and is consuming water daily in the evenings.

the climate is hot and the temperature is around 93 degrees

farenheat.

here are the stills_

[Kris]

here is the temperature guage showing only the indoor room

temperature.so you can imagine that our outer temperature

should be easily 2 to 3 degrees more_

[Kris]

one one still as of may 07.the previous leaf has split into 2

leaflet hope in 6 to 8 months the basic leaf charastristic will

be visible for all here to make some I.D of this Caryopha

palm.

and what i observed is that this guy loves hot climate and

dried leaf mulch in its foot.and daily watering..

[Kris]

one more of this baby_

[Kris]

Dear Friends & Dear Clayton  

here is that stills of the mystery palm that i discussed in this thread earlier,kindly let me know what this giant palm is and i was told that it was around 8 to 9 yeard old.but they told me that its not a Talipot palms fro shure !

And for those who wish to know where this palm is,its growing in the horticulture society of chennai.

Love,

Kris  

[Kris]

At the first instance i thought it should be the Corypha_Lecomteii variety of the corypha species.but the leaf fronds are slim and tentelous as seen more in a Buri Palm.and the colour of the leaves to our eyes are more like bismarkia or better compared to a breha armeda.i wish to tell you that the still does not do any justice of the leaf colour's brilliance.

Love,

Kris

Love them new yuccos Kris!  

You grabbed youself some palms and along the way picked up a wife too.  BTW, if my wife hold up two baby palms like yours, I would faint.

Ok..........let me have a crack at this.........I didn't have time to read the entire thread, but it seems to me that if you can convince the guy to let you take a picture, the problem would be solved. I propose two things.

1. Hand him the camera and offer to let him take the picture. I have found that many times people are unsure of letting someone take a picture......but if they take the picture themselves, it is not a problem.

2. Give him cash to take the picture..........bribery can go a long way in these situations.

Dear David  

the big fan palm seen above is from that location & as clayton said give what they like here it was palms as gifts to that society.and the problem was amucabily solved here is the stills of the few gifts that i keep giving to that society_

Dear 007 Jeff  

thanks for the information.but to our eye it look very wierd,since i have seen recently the talipot palms in my trip to lalbagh garden in banglore..they look way greener and lot..lot stout to this mystery palm,since its just taking off the ground to get seeds of these would be just a dream...for me !

lots of love to u,

Kris  

[Kris]

Dear Clayton are you there..!

here is the final still of the fan palm seen in that horticulture garden..

[Utopia Palms]

Hi Kris

Sorry I missed this the other day but I have a lot of work on at the moment and can only spend a short time on the board.

It’s good to see that a few gifs worked and they let you finally take a few photos your persistence paid off, big time!!

By the looks of the photos I think we are looking at Corypha macropoda! I bet there will be a few privet messages asking you for some seed make that more than just a few….

Your little one is growing so fast, if only they grew that fast here, very well done!

All the best and keep those photos coming.  

Clayton.

[Kris]

Dear Clayton  

thanks for visiting and even iam trying to get the seeds of this beauty..since to see this palm live,it is like Corypha Lecomteii crossed with a breha or a copernica hospita..

its a just out of the world kind of an effect....but its not as heavy or massive looking as its big brother Talipot palms..!  

thanks & lots of love to you & your family,

Kris  

[Kris]

Just an update on the mystery palm growing in our terrace top..its more close to a regular talipot palms,here are the visuals..!  

[Kris]

A close-up ! like always...

Kris, any updates?

[Kris]

Kris, any updates?

Hi

I have planted this palm in the ground but i could not ID this palm since in our roof top garden all the coryphas do look similar.And they have all that white waxy coating,and talipots & C.Lecomtei should have leaf colour more greener.But C.L are green,but talipots,Buri & c.macropodas all look similar.So i need some time on this analysis..

When Fuji Jim asked the same question about the coryphas in his collection,i was bit baffeled,was it so difficult to ID.I must confess that even iam experiencing this same problem.

But i have tagged my barrels with their names...so lets see.

For the moment,i will accept what 007 jeff has pointed out.

Kris,

Looks like Corypha umbrac. to me.
