~Red Sealing Wax Palm
Cyrtostachys renda
Also known as the Lipstick Palm. Considered to be rare and exotic because of the time it takes for a seed to germinate and palm availability. The sealing wax palm needs high humidity, a lot of water, and is not tolerant of drought or wind. It is definitely a collectors palm and is one of the most beautiful and sought-after palms in the world. Its striking red crown shaft creates a nice contrast with its luxuriant bright green fronds. I think it is a must-have for any tropical garden.
