This is a suckering palm that can get a lot of blue coloration... but if cool and full sun will sometimes have a green coloration with some red near the tips. It has a nice tomentum on it, and is relatively user friendly with only itty spines along the leaf edges. It is a profuse suckerer, and a large one at that. From Transvaal, Africa. Whoever listed this as blooming mid summer, must be from somewhere else than California. Here in blooms mid winter, sort of a rust-orange, dense bottle-brush like flower.
