    Tim, it is a lovely palm. Each frond is over a metre long. Very striking.

    Fly out of Borneo tomorrow with a couple of weeks in Bangkok to wander art galleries and get import paper work.

    Home for 3 weeks then off to Vietnam. Missing out on the Brisbane winter!

    @Hilo Jason That’s such an elegant hybrid chrys, so thick and I love the densely leafed fronds. 

    @realarch The pritchardia looks amazing. Copernicias and pritchardias do indeed look similar in sure they look great together too.
