This warm winter caused many new opening fronds and I was able to catch one of my few fully pinnate palms going at it! Hyophorbe verschaffeltii, one and a half years from seed:

Finally this one opened yesterday.... It is hard to take photos of the whole palm, as it is in the shade behind all the other shade loving palms waiting for some shade to be planted... Maybe in 2 years...

Not sure what this one is... The new fronds has bronze colour. The lady who sold it to me, called it dwarf euterpe. It looks nice, so I bought it....

Ari, it's hard to see from the photo but it dosen't look like that palm has a crownshaft so that would rule out Euterpe.  Maybe it's a Laccospadix australisica.  That would explain the coloring in the new leaf too.
