    Could this be Saintlucei dwarf aka sp. Lafa? I had a few that were blinding white with dark red spears like this.  They were definitely different from my regular saintlucei. It looks great!

    Obtained from Floribunda as D saintelucei and I am unfamiliar with the dwarf form, I just hope that it hangs onto this color scheme.

    Most of the palms on this thread are unobtainable dreams in my cool climate but Orange Crush has proven to be incredibly adaptable...

    Really hard to get a full shot and sun was in my face.....  About 7 years in the ground and it has only started to shine in the last couple. The ring spacing has increased massively in the last year or so.

    Such a cool looking tree. I’ve got two but way small. I hear they do well in my microclimate area so I’ve got big hopes for them both. Yours looks great. Congrats

    Dypsis ampasindavae planted five and a half years ago beginning to show a bit of trunk. Total height about 12-15 ft.  In the background right are two Clinostigma samoense and a Dypsis basilonga providing some contrast.  Please forgive the weeds.  I've been spending all my time working on a different area of the garden recently.

    Wow Rick, that’s turned out to be an attractive palm. I had no idea. 

    BTW, those aren’t weeds, it’s ground cover.
