Fifty one seedlings of Chrysalidocarpus (Dypsis) decipiens.

Last year I collected seeds of a mature Dypsis decipiens that I planted in my parents garden many years ago.  The seeds were cleaned and I put them in the refrigerator for a few months, waiting for warmer weather. In december my son Leonard ( who studies agronomics) planted them out in big pots. Maybe 1/4 of them germinated and today he and his sister Lydia transplanted 51 seedlings in individual pots. The first brazilian "manambe palms".

    Beautiful work. Iam sure your children will love and enjoy this moment and remember that special day in potting them up, and hopefully they get to plant them out and watch them grow with memories of family.
