Those two photos do show the leaves changing their orientation as they get bigger.  Youngsters are really sort of odd looking.

And it's encouraging to hear that they seem hardy in a coolish New Zealand climate that D. lutescens doesn't like.  There'll soon be enough fine-leafs in east-central Florida to see how they like our climate.

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F
USDA 1990 hardiness zone 9B
Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Here is another close-up of the crown from below. The distinctive leaves have upright leaflets and are quite the sight to behold. Here is the last photo of this palm for now. More will follow when I post the entire trip in a few months.
