    Hi,

    I am already "working" on other species with colored leaves but it will still take some time - until then....again...

    Another of my C. macrocarpa just opened a new frond...

    With the sun in Cali coming out, its been motivating to spend time in the garden. Here’s an unknown suckering Dypsis/Chrysalidocarpus. It didn’t have a tag when I purchased it so I’m not positive what it is but it has starting exploding the past year and has gotten redder and redder with each leaf.

    Areca macrocalyx under some canopy.. The ones in shade grow tall and very thin, full sun makes them more stout and robust.

    Chamaedorea oreophila. The flower was more vibrant chartreuse a few days ago, it's started to fade a bit.

    Unbelievable color! And what a perfect combination, deep salmon and dusty lavender-blue. SWOON!

    Shade grown chrysalidocarpus decaryi planted together. It's just an experiment. I had a lot of seedlings and I want to see how long they will show colors as they grow.
