A few more going in the garden of never ending palms. I have a lot of Chambeyronia in the garden already but you can never have enough Chambeyronia.  Ramsayi grows well in my climate and will give that tropical feel along with the bentnickia. And while I was it I thought I might well plant a anthurium vietchii and an Australian cordyline for good measure just to keep that tropical look happening. 

Nice additions , I agree with adding more Chambeyronia , they look very nice and grow very well for you. I only have one but I love it . This year the spathe is hanging on longer . Maybe seeds in a couple years….. Harry

I even purchased 30 more chambeyronia hookeri plants just so I can plant some more in the new garden, they grow so well they can be used as pioneer palms helping create that microclimate so badly needed for the understory plants, there’s a method in my madness there somewhere!

The C. Hookeri that I have seen are much larger , more robust than my Macrocarpa. I am waiting for some seeds to ripen on one I am watching . Harry

Unas cuantas más en el jardín de palmeras interminables. Ya tengo mucha Chambeyronia en el jardín, pero nunca se tiene suficiente. La Ramsayi crece bien en mi clima y le dará ese toque tropical junto con la bentnickia. Y ya que estaba, pensé en plantar un Anthurium vietchii y una cordyline australiana para mantener ese toque tropical. 

Chambeyronia Macrocarpa is the most common or standard variety of all Chambeyronias, but it undoubtedly produces the earliest red spear shot, like Chambeyronia Hookeri.

Gahhhhhhhh 

 

Aside from (I'm pretty sure) roasting the Chambeyronia seeds I have, I was stupid and mail ordered a Licuala Ramsayi and another Chambeyronia in the dead of winter a few years ago. They uhhhh they did not last very long at all. 

In Chile, I protect them. All tropical species should be kept indoors during harsh winters and low temperatures. We must protect ourselves with everything we have on hand or can buy.

 My hookeri  flower but seeds set yet they will one day, hookeri I will say throw a more brighter red. Macrocarpa more scarlet red, either way there both beautiful.

I have to many to bring indoors, and I tried hothouse growing it’s to difficult in my summer just to hot and it needs constant monitoring, and with a job that’s not possible as iam at work.
