Drew Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Uncommon beautiful phenomenon - my l. orbiculares in early stage of producing seed. The palm is happy in Miami. Drew 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmarum Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Wow, that is extraordinary... I've never seen a cultivated L. orbicularis in flower before in S. Florida. A couple old plants of that size but never one with an inflorescence. It was thought it would never happen with containerized plants; we figured they would take so, so long to mature, if ever. This is a milestone for sure, as we now have a reference as to a size for maturity. Congrats on your palm's debut flowering as it is obviously very happy. Ryan P.S. - Nice Johannesteijsmannia magnifica as well. 1 South Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Beautiful specimen, I killed mine in a 1 gal. That is what I was hoping for. I’ll try again! What is the secret to grow them like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 (edited) Now I feel like eating some Ruffles potato chips.... Edited May 18 by Patrick Oakley, California 55 Miles E-NE of San Francisco, CA Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year. Hot, dry summers.

Being in person with a palm like that and feeling the stiff, pleated texture of the leaves -- intensifies the feeling of potato chip envy.
