My x Syagrus serroana are flowering.

[Alberto]

Two of my four self made xSyagrus serroana ( S. romanzoffiana x S. glaucescens) are flowering. I made this  hybrid that is not frequent in nature with my native cold hardier jerivá (queen palm) that grows at 1000 m altitude on the 2nd tableland of Paraná. They weren't damaged at all with last winters freeze.  I' planning to backcross them with Syagrus glaucescens. This resulting palms will look even more to the compact S. glaucescens and with 1/4 hardy queen blood and the cytoplasmatic inheritance of the queen.

That's a nice looking hybrid Alberto! The genus Syagrus gets a bad rap; usually because they look pretty good in even rough settings (as your habitat pictures show).  But it's a great genus & I have a number growing in my garden.  Interestingly, my only complaint is the aggressiveness of their roots. But that makes sense coming from the drier climes that they often do. Thanks for sharing..
