Now I noticed it. :D   Many of the tourists gave me the weird look because I was more interested in the palm than the fish.

Remember guys, the leaves are almost at 90 degree.  The lutescens leaves are at about 60 degree.  Hehe... I learned the fact from some palmers on this site.  :D   I have many lutescens and they do not look anything like the palms in the picture.

No yellow cloration at all. The crownshafts I saw when I was there were white and powdery looking. A common trait of baronii right??

It looks as if it is growing in a very shady area, lutescens only develops the golden look in lots of sun, the leaves of shade grown lutescens are also held flat just like the plant in your pics.

Whatever they are, they're not Dyppy lutes.

They're not yellow enough, and they don't show the recurved leaves and tristicious habit.

They look a lot more like D. baronii to me.

Most D lutescens grown in the shade turn out loking like this photo. This is especially true in the humid tropics etc.

Less sun, less yellow.

We need a better photo from further back, one with a person.

Looks identical to lutescens with this photo.

Wal,

    I too agree. Looks alot like D. lutescens, but we(the viewers) can't tell with the picturers your showing us.

     Also, whats the chances of a D. baronii being planted verses a D.lutescens, slim to none. Most likely because these large hotels have a big budget to spend on landscaping, they're not going to find a big D. baronii. But a large D. lutescens,most definetly.

Maybe I'm wrong but the fronds look just like the bunch of baronii that I bought from Gary Wood at South Coast Palms.  I will have to take a few more close up pictures next time to let you experts verify it. :D  I'm not itching to pay my share of the Strip electricity bills in Vegas now. :D

I have a 3 foot tall D. baronii that has not sent out suckers.  Can this palm remain solitary?
