Shatay

Y 'all did not like the Last Flower I posted  ::redface::

Here I go again  ::lol:: ::lol::

                                     

         

Leaves from the xate palm are used by the international flower trade, and are mostly harvested from wild trees.

                               

"One of the reasons why florists like this leaf so much

is because once you have cut it, it stays green for 30-40 days,"  ::eek::

• [li] Xate is pronounced "Shatay"[/li]
  

• [li] Scientific name: Chamaedorea ernesti-agusti[/li]
  

• [li] Can reach two metres in height[/li]
  

• [li] The plants generally grow up to five leaves[/li]
  

• [li] It is a shade species; direct sunlight bleaches the leaves[/li]
  

• [li] Harvesting more than two leaves from an individual plant damages its reproductive capabilities[/li]
  

Why the sudden obsession with flowers , are you trying to get in touch with your feminine side?

the chinese make this thing call shatay chicken, taste real bad.  :embarrassed:

This is a Palm not a Flower .... ::redface::
