Some leaf oddities

Kumar · 2010-10-30T12:22:01+0000

There never seems to be a dull moment when I am visiting my palms. Here are some interesting facets of some palm leaves from my garden. 1. This developing coconut leaf appears to invite me, like skeletal fingers- 2. Now what are these V-shaped holographic notches on the mature coconut leaves ? See near the midrib - and again very clear in a close-up 3. And one of my bismarckias has lost its silver coating at places - the cause is uncertain - rainfall perhaps ? I hope it has no adverse effect 4. On a lighter note - Is this a variegated roystonea ? No brickbats please ! Please add anything that is you see out-of-the-ordinary in your palm leaves.
