My hookeri just started opening up its new frond today. This is the second leaf that this one has opened this year. The last one opened up in late July just as we were having that outrageous heat wave. It amazes me the size of the leaf that they throw in relation to its size. As you can see there is no visible trunk yet but the spear is 8' long and when its fully opened the leaflets are 6'' wide. I'll post a pic of it when it's fully opened in a day or so but heres one for now so you can see the progress. This pic was taken today at around 4 pm
