Can anyone tell me if P. Roebelenii usually flowers this small? I know it is a dwarf palm but I didn't expect to see flower spathes when this young. They (two of them) have been indoors for 4 weeks. The second pic shows it's size.
Mine flowered almost all last summer and its not much bigger than yours, barely forming a trunk. I keep mine frost free in the greenhouse through the winter so it tends to stop growing now for a while. Its directly in front ofthe white chair.
Thanks for that Pete, so mine isn't unusual then. I have left them out in the garden again while it is mild but I am not sure whether keep changing their aspect and position will cause any twisting or other problems.
I think, as you well know, the temperature change between in the house and outside is quite a bit at this time of the year. But I can see why your doing it, not sure if the flucuations are good for the plant though. I think twisting is just a cycad thing.
Pete iv'e been looking through some old threads and id just like to say, your gardens fantastic...youv'e inspired me to try growing plants ive never even thought of..Dee.
Is that a Plumeria by the watering can Pete? I like the Sempervivum on the roof and btw I didn't realise your Caesalpinia was that tall!
Love that shot of your garden Pete it's full of goodies, is the bop in a pot in the ground or is it staight in the ground?
Well thanks eveyone. strongy yes that is plumeria, I think there are a couple in the shot, they were out there, at the time, for spraying the dreaded RSM. The semperviviums have been on that corragated asbestos roof for at least 40yrs, and its never been struck by lightning, so they work. :D The caesalpinia is at least 12 ft up the wall around the corner and above the kitchen window. Walnut the BOP is in the ground, its surrounded by a teporary frame now and covered with a blanket on cold nights, thats all the protection it gets.
