And I want a pet unicorn.  We're both out of luck. :D

Seriously though, let me know if you find any Derrick.  These are as rare as hens teeth at the minute.

I was able to acquire a variegated, two leaf seedling from eBay several weeks ago.  Same seller had a ~3’ “green form” available just a couple days ago.

Yes - I have been clearing that guy out of green forms whenever they pop up!

    I got two larger ones (5g size) from the same seller as well!  He seems mostly down to the variegated ones, which I am less interested in as they need total shade here.

    You beat me to it :D guess it’s only us bidding on these. Who else would be so crazy?

    What we need is a Florida connection to supply us hybrids.

    My timing hasn't been good seeing this on eBay! But with the new notification-of-availability feature on RarePalmSeeds, I'm holding out hope I'll be able to score some seeds of this palm hybrid in the future.  :unsure:

    The Ebay mobile app has a setting where it could notify you of any new listings for items you're looking for.  I have saves searches for coccothrinax, copernicia, pseudophoenix, and a couple of others. I get a push notification whenever any of these is listed on the entire Ebay platform.

    I've considered that as I do use a similar service for some other sites. I notice this one seller "may" have this Butia available (someday): https://www.ebay.com/itm/PURPLE-Yatay-Palm-RARE-Butia-purpurascens-LIVE-Tree-/230617073035

    He's "Coconut Climber" and is where I purchased my own B. purpurascens years ago. It was slow at the start but seems to be picking up speed as it ages. The leaflets/segments are very thin and wiry; quite distinctive looking for a Butia.
