In spite of the cooler weather we have experienced over the last month or so here in central Florida one of my C Hospita has sent out several inflorescences. This variety as well as C Macroglossa seems to be the best varieties for me .

    If you offer up seed, I'm sure the entire hoard of California growers will be in your DMs. 

     

    Wonderful plant. Thanks for sharing.

    Mike-

    Looking at the frond structure and the fact that it is flowering at that size, I would venture to think this may be C. glabrescens, or a hospita x glabrescens. This is relatively common in Florida from my experience.

    Just curious - has it ever tried to offset? Here is a pic of my glabrescens that keeps trying to clump no matter how many times I cut the offsets.

    No clustering observed, cfkingfish thinks it may be c Glaubescens or hybrid with c Hospita . What do you think? 

    Copernicia glabrescens seems to be a determined clumper for me. No offsets,I think it's a greener hospita.Very variable species!
