This has been planted out for approx 18 months now .Other delicate spotty plants nearby all got devoured by borers .

Hope this one survives long term . Shaded by Happy Plants and must thin them out a bit to give more light .

60 meters above the sea level with less than 1000 mm annual rain.

Temperature range is 16 - 38 °C , average is 28 °C approximately.

Start to collected palms , cycads and succulent plants since 2004.

Big is right, a couple of mine are getting downright beefy. They just keep getting bigger and bigger. I'll post a few pics soon.

I would love to see some more pics of adults--mine are just seedlings right now... I take it they are a fast palm--fairly trouble free?

Here are a couple of photos of P. insignis in the garden. There are six altogether, three older and three younger. The younger ones are

showing more color and if it continues that way the older ones will probably get a trip to palm heaven. The big ones are bruisers for sure.

Just too tempting to include a pic of mine (5-gal bucket for scale):

Two of these were growing near the monkey cages at the Paneawa Zoo in 2006, when I collected and sprouted some seeds. They were considered unidentified at the time, though they had been planted by a contributor to the zoo palm planting program. I think that it was Dr. Dransfield who identified it as Pinanga insignis on his trip here. The one shown above was planted out of a 2-gal pot in September 2009.

Tim and Mike, yours look really nice! And yes, five or six is a good beginning! :) This is one of my favorite Pinangas. Planted five in a very tight group in my old garden - within a three ft radius of each other. Probably what NApalm is referring to above. And once they get up a bit in size they will usually display a lot of color, so Tim, be patient with yours! Before leaving my old garden, I had two large bad looking Cycas circinalis ripped out from the two planters out by the street. Replaced them with 37 P. insignis - 22 in one planter and 15 in the other. Should provide nice color with all those trunks in close proximity! :)

What is that attractive Eucomis like lily with the maroon leaves, is the flower pink or crispy white?

Thank you, its an interesting plant I never knew it before, I grow Dichorisandra thyrsiflora, the texture of the leaf looks similar, purple and blue in this climate is very welcome and so scarce. I will look out for it.

Quite the ‘chunks ‘ Mike. What is the palm in the background? Oraniopsis?

Since it's finally stopped raining, for the time being, I'll snap a pic of the P.insignis down in the lower garden.

Snapped some photos of P. insignis in the garden. Since my last post above, I've removed all but three.......just getting too big and robust for the space. Looks better now thinned out. They are truly monsters and the leaf sheaths, when they drop, remind me of heavy, thick, giant Dypsis fronds. 

There is a shovel for scale in the first photo.

Splendid-looking palms, Tim. The big leaf in the back of my insignis is from an Astrocaryum murumuru. Behind the insignis and to the right is Socratea exhorrizum.

Thanks Mike. I planted an A. murumuru that you gave me, but it's not looking as good as yours.
