Looking for Serenoa repens "Ultra Silver"

So I realize this is not a real variety....but I wanted to distinguish what I am looking for as opposed to the regular run-of-the-mill "azul" . 

If you have ever visited the coastal area of Florida from Melbourne (Merritt Island) down to Sebastian Inlet, you know that the area has vast areas ofvery silver Serenoa repens. If you look at these stands of native palms you can see that some are even more silver/white than average. I would like to purchase seeds/ plants that exhibit these "Ultra Silver" traits. Thanks

Looking at the parent plants...they really didn't look different from the silver forms I see around here. The way you really know you have the most silver form is to see them from their native stands and compare silver ones to really silver/white ones. I was hoping some members might live on Merritt Island area of Florida and could select seeds from the really white ones.
