A garden palm with great color presence. Inflorescence, crown shaft, and leaves, at all stages, are worth more than just a quick look.

In ground for about 8 years now and I've only gotten one viable seed batch. They were worth waiting for though, stunning little babies. 

Has always had dark purple emergent leaves, almost black.

I sold my whole collection to move to the big island ant out off all the palms I had that was my favorite.  I need to get a few more once I get the keys for the new house

I am 99.9% sure that they are the red form but I could be wrong. Mine looked exactly like his and mine was red form

I was so lucky to have been given a bunch of seed of this species from Mike Dahme's PR farm about 2 years ago.

 I believe they all sprouted so I plan a little forest once I have more regrown canopy. 

If they look half as lovely as yours I'll feel blessed. 

Thanks Tim for the inspiration, as always.

They actually can tolerate quite a bit of sun, at least here in Hawaii. One of mine get 4-5 hrs of direct sun and hasn't skipped a beat since planting and its a relatively small seedling

Good to know! The variegated leaves of the seedlings are so striking.

I will start looking for a place to pop them in the ground soon.

Gorgeous seedlings, Tim! I'm not sure how I feel about the adults... Mine are pre-teens. Still cute but not as much mottling.

Thanks all for the comments!

Yes, this is the red form which seems to be fairly abundant and available here in East Hawaii.

The orange crown shaft creates such a nice counterpoint to surrounding sea of green.

I've had mine for a little over 2 years now. It was chugging along nicely until it got mauled by mealy bugs this winter. Probably didn't help that I left it out on the lanai on the coldest nights either. :hmm: It's pushing a new spear though! Thanks for sharing your photos! I never tire of seeing these beauties! :wub:

Mike also gave me seeds of P. caesia, probably from the same batch. Mine are still in pots, but I do plan to plant the four tallest ones out soon. Mike is still without power and water at his Orocovis house in the mountains as a result of Hurricane Maria. The photos he emailed me were very depressing. But I must say, no more depressing than at my place, from Hurricane Irma's wrath.

Mad about palms

And they grow pretty rapidly. We planted them to be understory palms thinking that the Clinostigma samoense would be larger and more dominant, but they have kept up. Both species were planted in 2009 - The Clinostigma from 25 gal and the P. caesia from 5 gal. Suspect we had the same source as Tim. - gmp

Wow, thats a great picture and it's crazy that they are keeping up with / outgrowing Clinostigma!

Wonderful grouping Dr. George. A single specimen would not be nearly as impactful.

Here's one of the little babies starting to grow up. I've given most of them away, but still have a few......hard to let go of. No photoshop, no enhancements.

Beautiful. That glossy red new leaf alongside the mottled green leaves. C’mon, it just doesn’t get much better than that.
