On your Post # 193,  that is not Brahea decumbens but is a small Copernicia ekmanii.  I'll try get a pic of the real B. decumbens to post for you to see, however, it is still a small size but new leaves are getting blue now.

Peter asked which Agave that is - it is Agave guiengola.  

Hey, enjoyed having Dean, Matty and Paul drop by for a short visit.  Maybe on your next visit my Hemithrinax ekmaniana will be visible inside that cage!  As rare as they are I do hope it will continue to grow for me as has the two that Carlo Morici planted in the garden in Tenerife, Canary Islands.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Good spot Jack and thanks for the I.D. Al!  We had a blast.  I'm learning that meeting a lot of the palm people is just as fun as seeing the palms.  They should start a society or something where the people and palms are together..... ???

Promised to get a pic taken and post here of my small Brahea decumbens since the pic taken by Matty was actually a small Copernicia ekmanii.  It's very small but at least it is now producing glaucous blue color to the leaves.  Here it is . . .
