I still like the regular , tall form . I think the dwarf form is nice and wouldn’t mind having one but the regular form , in my garden , are very lush looking palms with very colorful features, ranging from pink to gold to orange hues. They do get very tall but mine have a very controlled footprint. Harry

‘the golden canes

‘Looking up through the lower fronds. I don’t have a pic of the pinkish coloring near the stem on a newly opened frond. Harry

How beautiful those golden and orange trunks are. What colors!

Oh buddy I am the exact opposite when it comes to making a stink about problems. I've worked in customer service and hospitality most of my life, so I know better than to take it out of the employee in front of me. I can't tell you how many times I got yelled at and screamed at by hotel guests over things that I had no control over, but I have absolutely no problem publicly stating that, for example, the United States Postal Service (not UPS, I currently love UPS) is an absolute joke with unreliable deliveries, lost packages, unexcusable delays, my dog could do a better job of tracking packages than they do, they treat their employees like crap (my local driver's delivery vehicle is a 20 year old Ford Escape with duct tape seat covers), employees behind the counter are rude and not even remotely knowledgeable, packages are routinely destroyed and/or lost as if it's part of their business model, and they've prioritized delivering Amazon packages above everything else. There's constant rumors about eliminating rural service altogether, depriving millions of deliveries of pretty much anything not from Amazon, and I'm very good friends with a union shop steward. Years ago, (this is not a political rant, I promise) our government forced the Postal Service to fund employee retirement pensions 75 years into the future which no other organization has ever had to do - obviously, this is financially crippling. 75 years is a long damn time - I mean that's easily 3 generations of an entire rotating workforce, but - I'll stop before I do get political. Anyway our postal service is straight up buttcheeks and dumping deliveries from one of the world's richest companies into their laps while simultaneously financially crippling them is arguably one of the worst business decisions ever made, both from a logistics and from a personnel standpoint. 

 

Anyway lol 

People always talk about democracy here, but things are twisted and re-decided behind closed doors, so that in the end, the result does not reflect the whole truth.

Now to this unique form of Dypsis lutescens. It is unique in its own way, and that makes it special, at least for the two of us here from neutral 😁Switzerland.

I agree with absolutely everything you just said. What an amazing and rare subculture of palm!

The only one form iam intrested in is the dwarf form. I have a couple hundred in six inch pots if you like John I will gladly pay the postage to send them to you, I hear you want to pick up palm leaves on your days off and any spare time left you have. I can’t stand them anymore, yes they are a nice colour yellow and all.

That's just free mulch. 

 

Also wait until we stop with import tariffs again. That free crate of palms could end up costing me thousands of dollars right now.

I am very interested in this form. Unfortunately, according to my colleague, the shipping costs would probably quickly exceed 100 usd, which is a shame.

Friends, the seeds begin to ripen this month. The season has arrived. The seed market is very active. Make sure you don't detonate your bank account. Banks are very sensitive.😄😄

Nice looking and not as jam packed as the ones I have. I put two in the ground and kept one in a pot so I can divide it up later on.

Too late for that, iam already spending on another order now. I have an addiction I don’t want to cure unfortunately. 🤣

Don’t blame you! Plenty of very well behaved Dypsis or Chryslicablabka (I can never get the spelling correct) to choose from 

Give me a baronii any day or better yet a pinanga coronata.

Picked up this variegated C. lutescens last weekend.  HEAVILY variegated.  Not sure if it's a dwarf or not.  Grower said it's just standard tree form.  He said in Thailand they treat seeds with caustic chemicals and it creates all these strange cultivars.

That’s a beautiful palm. They go crazy for anything variegated in Thailand. Could be worse they radiate seeds in Japan too get mutations and variegated forms. I suppose a little giberellic acid is not far from radiation in the deadly to dangerous range🤣

Is Gibberilic acid what they use...? I've worked with that before as a growth stimulant.  Got it in powder form

In high school biology class , 1970 , we grew  plants from irradiated seed . Really got some interesting little plants . I can’t remember which plant it was , but some very interesting leaf shapes. I thought it was so cool back then. Gotta love the sixties and early seventies . Harry , peace man !✌️

Most likely. Polyploidy investigation by H warmke. Stay away from it carcinogenic stuff!

Yer like cool man, far out peace love and happiness. Um I don’t think so crazy stuff playing with that in class.  Might be ok if you were Timothy Leary. Oh those were the days dissecting frogs all in the name of science in school. Apart from the frogs they mellowed it down for us with the bean seed experiment, a lot more safer! But hey let’s bring back those days just for a bit more fun, nobody got hurt except for a few minds on acid trips!🙈
