Kentia Palm Island Colouring

A graceful Kentia palm leans above the rocky shore of Lord Howe Island with a slim ringed trunk and elegant drooping fronds. Slender flower spikes and small oval fruits grow beneath the leaves while an island butterfly rests nearby. Use soft and dark greens for the arching fronds, pale grey-brown for the trunk and cream for the tiny flowers. Colour the fruits from green to orange-red as they ripen, and choose bright colours for the butterfly. Add blue water, warm grey rocks and a little green groundcover, but leave plenty of open white space. Slow strokes along each leaflet will make the palm look light, feathery and calm.
