I have noticed that the emergent leaf color on my Burretikentia koghiensis seems to be more colorful when they open in cooler times of the year, which also coincide with it never getting direct sunlight. It is similar to the variations in my hibiscus flowers which open with deeper colors in the winter than during summer. I haven't really paid much attention to see if my Chambeyronia hookeri exhibit this characteristic but thought I would solicit other comments about experience with colorful emergent leaves and variations dependent or correlated to temperature, time of year or sun exposure.

Walking around today I stopped to admire the new colorful leaf.

It is interesting to see the diversity within a species. I'm growing a couple of Encephalartos sclavoi. Perhaps due to age, the older one shows very few spines on the leaflets, even though the younger one still has about a 6" caudex and it's leaflets are loaded with spines. I hope the smaller one grows out of the spiny leaf and develops a leaf like the older one... I will get a reveal when the next flush finishes opening. The other thing I doubt will change is that the older one opens with a colorful chocolate mocha fuzzy flush, while the younger spiny form has an attractive fuzzy green flush. It's not hard to see which color is preferred.

These are currently the biggest surprise in my recent order of mostly Pinangas. Lots of color on the new leaves, silvery undersides and bright red petioles that carries all the way into the rachis. The crownshaft is starting to show hints of yellow that really shows up when they get older. The leaves are thick and leathery, so I'm eventually thinking they may even make good indoor palms. We'll see on that one.
