Syagrus romanzoffiana often with its feet in salt water( these are one tough puppy's) 

Is that standing water or tidal?  I'm assuming the ground is always wet regardless?

I ask as I have a tidal are prone to brackish flooding and finalizing perspective palms to paint in this area.

Everything you have is amazing!  :yay:

Its tidal, not brackish just full on sea water but for the most part during king tides which of course is twice a year. Salt does affect it as you can see with the crown looking burnt out and will likely get worse in the coming weeks particularly if we don't get much rain. Mangroves are right next to it and they shed salt through there leaves which effects the soil as well. The only reason I haven't removed them is to see their tolerance for salty feet. The ground is not always wet, but I expect after the floods of last March which I had 4 feet of water over the whole garden it may well be.  The flood added a couple of inches of silt throughout the garden as well which of course was great.

Laccospadix or a thin Howea belmoreana. If the seed are small it’s a Laccospadix.

Thanks Tyrone could not remember for the life of me, Laccospadix that's it. Never had any seeds from it yet but this year looks promising at least its flowering.

It’s the low elevation single trunked form. They sometimes have a red new leaf at least when young. I used to have one of them but it died. I do have the multistemmed upland variety. Not a common genus at all. Hopefully yours seeds.

I love Calathea Lutea! I’ve been trying to find some of these for sale in South Florida, do you have any for sale or know where I could get them?
