This is an elegant and somewhat overlooked palm. Took a few shots around the hood:IMG_2549.thumb.jpeg.5b3a386aa9c8d55a0dea87ec06b2f10f.jpeg

    These palm trees aren't very popular, but they have a very tropical, delicate, and elegant appearance. I only managed to germinate 10 seeds of Ptychosperma schefferi, purchased from RPS Germany. Only 3 palm trees survived.

    I suspect that if I lived in the tropics, I would be bored to tears with this particular palm, but they are an unusual, elegant addition to a Southern California garden. Here are a couple growing in mine and my next-door neighbors yard.

    Mine are in a 42" pot next to my bottle, in LA/OC, CA.... THey don't get the best care, but they've been chugging right along since 2007...
