One beautiful palm from New Guinea. Clumping, colorful, well behaved, and attractive entire leaves. Copious amount of indument on the rachis and leaf veins. Been in ground for around twelve years.

I’ll add photos of the colorful inflorescence and seed if and when that happens.

    Wow that is pretty. And it does look well behaved especially for a clumper.  Another one for the wish list some day!

    Mike, they are also easy to take care of and pretty much bug free. That being said, I’m not sure how Hydriastele in general do in Florida.

    I would keep it in the greenhouse in a pot I think. That one looks too good to risk outside here lol.  The backdrop to a hot tub in a greenhouse though? That would be awesome. It can hang with my Verschaffeltias in there all warm.

    Tim, I stumbled across a photo of this very recently and was smitten thus  think I might have to get me one of those. 

    Geez Tim. That is gorgeous..

    Brad, they should be available locally, you need at least two. 

    Thanks Bret, I think it might make a good container plant in a protected spot.

    Tim, curious why two?

    Well Brad, you’ll need one here and another one there so you can admire more than one, 😁

    Your logic resonates, perhaps I need 3 to match 3 Obi island.
