Getting into some spots that needed a good clean-up :unsure:

Had planted a few things amongst several small Costus Black Buddha .

Here I put a Bowenia spectabile in every planting hole .

Cyrtosperma macrotum ,

Dug out a big clump of the Costus to plant elsewhere .

It would have grown right into these plants in another season .

Cut off many old and excessive stems .

Well spotted Wal , and its a Cyrtosperma cuspidispathum :rolleyes:

that will grow much bigger than macrotum . They are planted fairly close to the Areca .

Only a few meters away is the big Caryota no with its second new leaf since Yasi , it should shade all this area for future plantings .

    Back to this spot today . A bit of trunk and some stilts .

    post-354-0-36602800-1353229571_thumb.jpg

    It could very well be vestiaria, but it seems to be remaining solitary .

    post-354-0-17744200-1353229296_thumb.jpg

    Must get some 'vestis' to plant nearby and compare .

    Michael, I "withdraw my comment back in june", its certainly not a Vestiaria. :) Pete

    Pete, Michael, is this a valid name? I searched on Kew and there is no such name is in the database. Hmmm, looks like a variation of A. vestiaria.

    Fingers crossed the Caryota not-no does not fall on top of this Areca after it has finished seeding
