Rare Palm Seedlings from Lanai Container Garden

This afternoon I was doing a periodic checkup on my container garden on the back lanai and decided to pull out a few seedlings for photos. Some I bought, others I germinated. Happy Holidays and enjoy.

Verschaffeltia splendida - I have four left out of 10 I germinated from seeds I got from Thailand. I'm hoping at least one survives until spring.

Areca catechu Dwarf - I germinated this seedling that shows promising form.

Areca guppyana - I'm a sucker for Arecas and they keep breaking my heart. Bought at Palm Beach sale

Pinanga bicolana - one of the most colorful Pinangas around. Seed from RPS germinated easily but not as easy to keep alive. Well worth trying.

Rhopaloblaste augusta - germinated from seeds I got from Thailand. Two seedlings remain. Gets large and is cold sensitive.

Adonidia merrillii variegata - very nice variegated specimen of an otherwise common-as-dirt palm. From Jeff Marcus

Heterospathe califrons - very rare new species that is hanging in there for me so far. Doesn't look like much now but just wait. From Jeff Marcus

Meg, in regards to your Verschaffeltia splendida If I can grow them indoors in Nebraska, should be a piece of cake for you.

Love the uniqueness of them and fast growth.
