Looking online, I noted there aren't a lot of great pictures of this Chamaedorea species. Care to share?

Thank you!

I checked my photo archive and only have one photo of one! Here's a Chamaedorea hooperiana growing not too far from you at SFBG.

    Thanks! Admittedly they're not easy to photograph, due to the fact that they're usually mixed into densely planted areas. I've been curious to see how their growth habit will be. I got one and planted it in I think will be a good spot.

    Unfortunately, this isn’t the greatest picture either. But it’s an awesome little palm. This one’s considerably overhead, as you can see reaching up to the second story. Always looks great though.

    A local nursery in Ventura had a few of these for sale a few years ago . Still kicking myself for not grabbing one 🫤.They seem bigger than some of the other Chamaedorea. Harry

    @kylecawazafla … nice pic ! It looks like they can handle a bit of filtered sun too!

    A few photos of mine. First when planted a bit over 5 years ago, then the others as it has grown. Again a bit tricky to photo well as it’s in amongst other palms intentionally. It still gets comments from non palm people for its fluoro orange inflorescences. It’s a female and getting very large as thick to the extent I’m considering thinning it out.

    Is this Chamaedorea microspadix? I am about to start a palm garden in El Centro, CA, so looking for Chamaedorea that can handle the heat! I have been experimenting with plantings at my work here in the Imperial Valley, and planted one this February but it unfortunately has since evaporated, but it did get a lot of sun.

    Heat yes, sun no

    Here's a plant in my garden obtained as a seedling under the name Chamaedorea hooperiana exposed overhead to sun during midday.
