A few nice seedlings. An original RPS seed order from when I started my nursery again. Slow growing these ones are about 4 years old. Picking up a bit more pace as they have aged. So another repot into 140mm containers should see the start to really get a move on. A nice palm to have in the collection, definitely looking forward to planting them out.

Another Dypsis to be on the lookout for! Actually any of these Dypsis would be a treasure to have in the garden. Like Chamaedorea , there are so many varieties . Harry

Such a pretty and colourful species, especially after they start going up.

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”.

It seems that your area is lacking in a rare palm nursery. It could be that the cool weather has stopped many growers venturing into the market. But growers do get sidetracked with other palms when there is a potential market there. I will say though the collectors market is a thin market for buyers. From what I have learned you have to sell the rare ones with good sales marketing, hence the flea markets or such other community run markets are the target market area for me giving me the true value of what rare palms are ultimately worth. A lot of that comes from the crackdown on imported seeds the price rise!

All I can say is I wish I had two hundred of them! Good viable seed is so hard to get now. Insert  curse the palm mafia gang now!
