'Palmatifolium' with sun scorch. It must have been in a green house prior to shipping.

The only trouble I had run into on e-bay was that I was so new at JMs, that had no idea one plant could have 4-5 common names, often incorrectly so. So, I ended up with 2 of several plants. Haven't figured out what this misstake has cost me. I guess it doesn't matter, I could give the doubles as gifts. I have 42 now (including the doubles). They are so beautiful. I am absolutely amazed. They are going to have to stay in pots for 3-4 years, since I am not staying in this house for too long having such a plant fettish, I need at least an acre of land. So, I pray they don't freeze this winter.
