Yesterday was a great day in the garden after encountering this C. ovobontsira reveal. Up until now this young palm was rather unremarkable, no longer. It was gifted to me by Hilo Jason a few years back, you picked out a good one Jason, and no, you can’t have it back. Glad I’m able to share these photos.

Oh wow Tim, what a looker!!! Clearly loving life in that spot.

For those of you that frequent Facebook, I’ve set up a group called “Pommy palms”, where many of the palms I’ve seen since emigrating to Australia have been documented. If you wish to be a member, copy and paste “Pommy palms” into Facebook to view the page and click “Join group”.

Absolutely beautiful, I think I did say palms will grow in Hawaii if you look at them and you have been looking at this one well by the growth rings in the trunk I would say it’s only taken about a year of looking at that one considering how fast they grow in Hawaii. And to make things worse my boss is on holidays in Hawaii now while i look after his farm I can’t win lucky Hawaii growers!

Wow! it's my new iPhone wallpaper now! 😃

Out of curiosity...is this the same thing as Dypsis sp Dark Mealybug?

No, I think they’re different. Neither grows great for me, but the dark mealy has pretty wide leaflets (at least on young plants) and the ovibontsira is very upright in its growth as a young palm. Distinctively different
