The beauty of youth
This original hesper palm reminds us of time passing by. When young, and until it has a developed a trunk, it delights us with intense green, almost circular, tropical-looking leaves. However, as it ages, its features change too. The leaflets become more divided and the leaves take on more bluish hues, typical of many Braheas. Although it changes as it become older, let’s not forget that beauty has no age.
