I think I have a couple of those too. A kind gentleman called Tony sent them to me, thanks Tony Have yours spent a winter outside yet? I take it the leaves die down like all Collies, but the regrowth will start much earlier.
Where do they dream these names up. How do you pronounce it "Jail-i-gong-ensis" as a Gaol is a type of prison isn't it. I'll post a pic later. They are currently nestling under my Washingonia.

Here are mine. The problem is the Colocasia are more hardy then the palm they are sheltering under.

Well that will suit me fine Tony. I can't help it... I try to propagate everything.... It's an addiction
I have 70 Chamaedorea radicalis seedlings from home grown seed I ended up with 112 Burgundy Stem in the end this year from Runner/Stolon cuttings. 19 Black Magic and 24 Fontanesii. It will be Mammoth next year
