These palms were purchased recently and planted in my yard in Chiang Mai Thailand. The local retailers refer to them as Seegah Palm (cigar palms). I believe they do not originate in Thailand. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
Calathea burle-marxii 'Blue Ice' perhaps? http://www.heliconiaparadise.com/Calathea_burle-marxii_Blue_Ice.htm HTH Chris
Thank you Chris Your direction allowed me to identify the plant. Calathea lutea ‘Cuban Cigar’ (same mother, different father) http://members.iinet.net.au/~meckms/Calathea Cuban Cigar - Buyers info.pdf Actually I live in Vancouver, Canada and have just built a small winter retreat here in Thailand. It is a bit odd that my initial google searches would lead me right back home for answers. Thanks again,,, Bruce
