Small understory dypsis palms

The small understory dypsis palms are just so beautiful. They just fit perfectly in the garden. Dypsis minuta dypsis minuta dysis sp dypsis dypsis forcifolia dypsis lantzeana 
Dypsis minuta dypsis poiveana 
dypsis mirabilis 
dypsis lantzeana dypsis poiveana  dypsis poiveana

I’ve only tried the Lanceolata and Basilonga in the garden between larger palms and they seem to be liking it as understory palms , the former being the larger , faster growing of the two.  I think they may be larger ,  as time goes on , than the species that you pictured . I just love them though . The ones you have are beauties there . I would certainly give them a go if I had the room and access to seedlings . I’m not sure which ones will end up as Chrysalidiocarpus , though that doesn’t really matter to me . Harry

 The double Basilonga with twine holding them secure in the breezy location. Very little direct sun here . You can see the new frond just opening on the right . That’s the second frond to open since planting the almost 2 years ago.

The Lanceolata is faster , and much tougher . No need to secure this one . It has seen a bit more dappled sun and a lot of wind.

The lanceolata are quite fast growing and tough palms and the basilonga is one fantastic example of the palms from Madagascar. And the small understory ones are just the icing on the cake.
