A pair of trunking unknown dypsis that look like massive teddy bear palms with plumose leaves!

A couple of my favorite palms in your garden, although it's hard to pick favorites at a garden like yours. I hope those flower for you soon so I can get some seed or seedlings!!!

Bill's Dypsis palms are just amazing. I have an interesting Big Island Dypsis experience, so maybe I can intrude on this thread momentarily with a comparable item. Here is one of my Dypasis mananjarensis, planted April 2013 in Big Island cloudy, humid full sun from a 2-gal bucket. 5-gal orange bucket for scale.

Notice what is at the base on the left side. Here is a closeup:

The palm doesn't even have a trunk yet! Another mananjarensis planted 15 feet away does have 6 inches of trunk (but no inflorescence).

You're looking pretty grisly Bill, shall I bring the Flo-bee over?
