Little bit of Dypsis ovobontsira color. Starting to put out larger leaves. Hope this is keyed out correctly, but got it from Floribunda, so 

gona go with Jeff's Id. Didn't know D. ovo had a reddish new leaf.

Nice, that salmon color is a great contrast to the green.  I have a small seedling of this in the ground and its pushing a new leaflet out right now but sadly I'm not getting the nice color you are.   I've noticed with other things that the color can come and go to varying degrees but I can't nail it down (Dypsis crinita, Burretiokentia koghiensis for example).  I hope yours retains this trait consistently!

    Dypsis Sp. Mayotte - I really like these palms. This was a small 4" plant from floribunda a few months ago and is really growing fast now!  Starting to get some cool Dypsis color and markings.

    I know I have posted photos of this Dypsis heteromorpha before, but the colors are getting even more vibrant. An updated photo seemed reasonable to share, as its my current favorite of my clumping palm species.

    Bill, the link didn't seem to come through?  Can you re-post the photo or link? We are all curious, as you always have great plants and info!:drool:

     Burretiokentia hapala looking very colorful right now.  It is also the first inflorescence.

    Areca macrocalyx dropped 2 dead fronds today so thought it was a good time for a picture.

    Perhaps the least attractive of all the colours on a palm - brown, but there it is looking like it is dying, Kentiopsis pyriformis.

    Cheers Steve

    It is not dead, it is just senescence.
