A few palms at Logees Tropical Plants in CT and ID?

Logees has a reputation of being like a mostly indoor botanical garden in Connecticut.  Though I live an hour south in Lebanon i still thought it was worth a visit.  I could not be more pleased with it.  I first spotted a windmill palm and papaya plant near the entrance.  The windmill while potted was still a good size for up north. and the papaya was at least 10 ft tall.

Inside were a few much bigger and older palms that weren't for sale.  One looks to be a livistonia.   It was far too large for 1 picture.

This other one reminds me of a euro fan palm but I could use an ID also at least 10 ft of trunk

You are correct about the euro fan palm, Chamaerops excelsa.  This palm has stretched petioles due to lower light levels.

The small palm in the orange pot is likely a Chamaedoea.  If the trunk had yellow speckles perhaps C. oreophila.

The cycad might be a Blechnum fern.  Thanks for posting !   :greenthumb:

Those are so elongated it is hard to id. The first one has fan leaves but the base looks like an allogoptera clump. The second is a med fan and the third is a c. Radicalis.

Probably the biggest med fan palm in the whole state.  I honestly have never seen one that big until now.

Defintely Chamaedorea Elegans on the second small one. Its probably 10-15 years old too.  I would snatch that up in a heartbeat if that was for sale!     

That banana looking plant looks more like a small travelers palm to me.  They are related to Bananas, and the way that ones leaves are in line, forming a fan, leads me too believe that it is a travelers palm. If lt had an inflorescence on it Id be able to tell for sure.

Well, in general they are cheap palms, because they are mass produced and used in so many things from busy plants with 100 seeds grown in the pot as a "Palm" to use in dish gardens and other mixed houseplant plantings.  That said, they are fairly show growers, and it takes a fairly long time for them to gain any appreciable height like that one.  I have one that is taller than that, which I purchased on ebay 8 years ago,  when it was half the size of the one in your photo. I think I paid 30  dollars for it, or more.  I cant remember but I remember the whole order ( there were a few different palms in it) was around 100 bucks.   Id guess that one would be around 50 bucks or so.   The slow growth is what makes them more expensive in my mind as they grow taller.   Id now sell mine  for 75 or so were I going to sell it, but I am not.  I will have that palm until either it, or I die.  LOL.
