Stevetoad 1,883 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Jody. Sabal minor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virtualpalm 64 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Not minor... that one is more like a dark metallic bluish-green color. Good guess, though. Jody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarasota alex 224 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 S. bermudana? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richnorm 535 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Somehow reminds me of Sabal rosei but perhaps too blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virtualpalm 64 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 S. bermudana? Nope. Sorry. Somehow reminds me of Sabal rosei Nope. Sorry. but perhaps too blue. Yes, indeed... I actually thought the blue would be a giveaway. Jody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

virtualpalm 64 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) urasana Good job, Ken. Here is an overall photo of the palm in the guessing game photo. It is growing fast. And here is a slightly larger specimen that we have: Jody Edited October 5, 2011 by virtualpalm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

virtualpalm 64 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 OK, Matty, this one should be pretty easy. The only catch is that you have to guess both species involved. Jody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyB 2,017 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 we don't have the strangler fig here so I'm not sure which Ficus it is, but I'm gonna guess S. palmetto for the palm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyB 2,017 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Here's my latest quiz. I think it's a hard one so I'll even give you two whole pics of the palm. I didn't know what this palm was when I saw it but now that I know how to recognize it I get it every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
