Now here is the most amazing palm I saw on my entire trip to Hawaii, it's so spectacular. Here are some photos of the famous Jeff Marcus Floribunda Dypsis 'blue decipiens'. And it's starting to flower!

Yep - One of several impressive palms In Jeff and Suchin's garden that photos, as nice as they are, just don't tell the whole story.

I have about 500 photos from Jeff's garden, no idea how to get it all ID'd. This one was my favorite palm, along with prestoniana. What a beauty! The blue decipiens IMHO tops the lemurophoenix. These pictures don't even come close to showing off the beauty of this palm. Cool!

I can't think of any palm in Jeff and Suchin's place that isn't impressive. Pure palm-loony overload. River running through it, up the unpaved road of doom.

Dave, maybe you should move to Hawaii, imagine, the acreage in Hawaiian acres is not very much, and you could grow more palms than ever before. :)

Axel,

It's not a decipiens, but it would be in the decipiens group.
