Amazing white silver ptychosperma elegans flower

[happypalms]

A beautiful almost white silver colour on the elegans flower at the moment, the ground is covered in tiny star dust looking particles. It’s just a shame it’s 7 metres up in in the sub canopy. 
The iPhone pic just quit can’t capture what the naked eye can see.

Aren’t they normally a burgundy colour.

That is a beauty! Is this hardier than the Ptychosperma McCarthuri? I tried two McCarthuri years ago and they didn’t make it so I have been very reluctant to plant any of these. Harry

Very pretty. Mine always have dark flowers. I do have one that puts out a red new leaf however so they must be one of those variable species.  I often see Alexanders with very thin dark trunks in gardens too.

They are tougher than McArthur palms, I grow a few McArthur in my garden not a B problem, I don’t think they like a lot of chill hours. They do take the cool just not hundreds of hours of it.

The one I have up the back part of the garden has the dark flowers. Not sure what’s going on with this one!
