Dypsis onilihanses weeping form flowering

[happypalms]

A beautiful palm the onilihanses, majestic and always standing proud in the garden. A nice flower has formed and with any luck a few seeds will set, it has produced viable seeds in the past so a good bit of water and I might get lucky.

@happypalms, I think I read somewhere that the seeds of this species will only germinate south of the 36th parallel. It's germination requirements are very specific based on daylight length and temperature. Apparently 42 degrees south is optimal...

Yes I heard that as well they won’t germinate in my climate funny how you mentioned that. I guess it’s no good me trying to germinate them is there, best to throw them in the bin I think! Hang on a minute don’t you live that far south what a coincidence they will germinate for you not me how strange, yes I best send them to Siberia as soon as they ready, as your climate is the best for germinating them after all it’s to hot here where I live!🤣

Exactly, I can see that you're a very quick learner!

A no brainer what gave it away was the -42 south, pretty obvious!

They are a beautiful palm, but there aren’t many dypsis sp that are ugly anyway.

Saw this Crysalidocarpus onilahensis ‘weeping form’ at Floribunda a few months back. Stopped me, and everyone else, in our tracks.
