Someone sent me these photos of a Corypha growing on their property.  Seeds developing at the moment, which I will check out next week with updated photos.  Sorry that the end is near for the palm, but really a magnificent sight.

Any guess as to the specific  id of this palm?

Trinidad!  Southernmost island in the Caribbean.

So many plants, So little space.

It looks like a corypha umbraculifera to me. How high are the wires infront of it? That Corypha seems somewhat smaller than other photos I have seen.

I'm always up for learning new things!

I thought the same....maybe its becuase Trinidad is so dang hot all the time and the palms might thus mature more quickly?

I agree with Kyle.

It's got those fat green leaves, and that infloresence above the leaves.
