    Thanks Antonio! The photo was taken about 3 weeks ago, and that colour lasted no more than 3/4 days :(

    Worth it, tho!

    I'm obsessed with colorful palms, especially mottled understory palms! Please share more photos, all! Here's what I can offer for now. A newly unfurled leaf on one of my Pinanga coronata 'Kuhlii'/'Blunt Leaf' plants.

    New leaves on Areca vestiaria 'Red'/'Maroon' is always lovely.

    Sorry, of course you're right, I meant:  in a srilankan garden...

    BTW: Pal Meir, you a scientific palm friend: 
    what do you think of these S. leucophylla and S. elegans being the same species? shouldn't be at least  2 sub-species?
