Wondering around the garden this morning and noticed my Slick Willy/Bef is flowering. This palm is at least 15years old from a 15g pot. Slow in a pot but speed up considerably when planted. worth the wait!

    Nice looking palm, looks very happy! Is that a 2 trunk multi?

    Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b. Now in Palmetto, Florida Zone 9b/10a??

    A palm with an interesting past, particularly name wise. Haven’t heard mention of it in quite awhile.

    Handsome and well grown Malagasy specimen. Definitely worth the post.

    It recently finally got described as Chrysalidocarpus comptus. Good news for a palm that has been known without a formal name for so long.

    I’m really liking the various species of Chrysalidiocarpus and Dypsis . Some grow very well in Southern California collections in tight areas with filtered light from other palms . I have never heard of this one . Harry
