I was surprised at the color on the shaft of this little Geonoma epetiolata. I look at this palm all the time and have never seen this bright red, it just keeps on giving.

    Red latania.  Don't worry, I drain the decorative pot.

    Hi there,

    boot came off of my longtime favorite - as mentioned before - seed grown C. leptocheilos...

    What a beautiful palm!

    Could pan up to show lots of brown leaf color but I will stick with the red crownshaft of A macrocalyx.

    My Attalea butyracea is starting to show that reddish brown petiole color. It isn't as noticeable in the older fronds.

    Not much longer to enjoy the contrast between the nearly white trunk and chocolate petioles of this Neoveitchia storckii. Once it begins blooming the inflorescences will cover the good stuff. Baby Corypha umbraculifera on the right.

    Prestoea acuminata inflorescence opened pure white, then turned red. Very three dimensional, so difficult to get everything in focus.Prestoeainflorescence.thumb.jpeg.4afb01c2dc0cbd94c7a0d91da34db8d4.jpeg

    We need a bit of color on the board. Post away!

    I'll start with some Calyptrocalyx in the garden, all going off at the same time. Understory gems for any garden

    if they will grow for you. 

    C. leptostacyhs, C. pachystachys, and C. pachystachys 'mottled.'
