sarasota alex 224 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 I'm also thinking Rhapidophyllum. But in case it's not - Guihaia argyrata Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandrew968 1,607 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 Yeah, needle palm--Matty, I got to this thread late; I was gonna say Actinokentia with the hint of round petioles(that gave it away for me)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyB 2,017 Report post Posted October 7, 2011 So, we have no open games at the moment. I'll kick it off again. Here's a pretty full shot of a very rarely seen palm in cultivation. It's growing at Louis Hooper's garden in California. Can you guess what it is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
