Brighamia insignis

I picked this plant up from Lowe's this morning. Its common name is Hawaiian Palm. The leaves are really succulent feeling!

I have had one for a year - it doesn't die but it doesn't seem terribly happy either. I hope you'll have better luck.

These plants are almost extinct in the wild in Hawaii.The wild pollinators for them became extinct so they stopped producing seeds.Thankfully a few researchers figured out what was happening and they climbed up a 900ft cliff to hand pollinate them and then collect seeds. A few years ago these were about $200 each for a good sized one. Nice find! I had a seedling years back but it died one winter in storage.They like real good draining soil .
