    Very pretty! I heard these get quite large for a Calyptrocalyx?

    Philippe,

    'Calyptrocalyx is a great genus, and one of my favorites (can't have too many! :rolleyes: ) and I have a bunch of the C. albertisianus in the ground. Always just as exciting to see a new red frond open up! And yours is spectacular! :)

    Stunning! And to think I went decades of my life never even knowing some palms had red leaves!

    Thanks for the photos!

    That colour seems to have lasted about 3 weeks, would that be correct? 

    And which Calyptro's would keep that vivid red the longest?

    Cheers Steve

    It is not dead, it is just senescence.
