Larry in your photo of Palace Garden Beauty from Jan 2019 I see some young leaves. They are shorter than mature leaves and nearer to the centre of the fans. However, I do not see any old mature leaves that have yellowed and perhaps dried and might be lying on the ground. Do you remove old leaves or are they perhaps covered by leaf mulch?
Do the leaves of Palace Garden Beauty tend to die during late August or September and new bright green leaves sprout then? Do only some leaves die then or many but not all? Or do new bright green leaves sprout continuously during your summer?
Might you perhaps have any photos of Palace Garden Beauty in June, July, August, September, October, November? I assume that it might bloom in May?
