I think the ??? palm is a Sabal palmetto. Definitely a Sabal species.

And in post 3, I think the first one is a Sabal mauritiiformis or yapa, but again I think a Sabal of some sort

I'd say the second one in question is a mule palm, and the third one in question is a Syagrus schizophylla

I tend to agree with Keith.... Jv

Wow thanks Rafael. I had no idea so many species would live in Spain. Naturally I am so envious of your close proximity to this country. Oh to see the buildings by Gaudi in Barcelona....The Guggenheim Museum, The Prado and of course that wonderful Dali museum .... now I have to add all the palm sites to visit. Hope you have a great time but if you go to a bullfight I will kick you

Wow Rafael,

What a great palm experience. I definitely agree with Keith on the Sabal mauritiiformis, I have one in the garden that looks just like it.

Hi Rafael, I hope you had a good trip, and sorry we weren't able to meet up. Valencia is a lovely city on the east coast, although I've never been to that garden. Any surprises in there Rafael? They all look like safe plantings. If anything a little too much shade, considering the Bismarckia.

Nice Photos - thanks for sharing Rafael.

It's good to know that first ??? has been confirmed to be a sabal. I thought so too but since I have never seen sabals in the flesh (except seedlings) i was hesitant to reply so lest it turned out to be something totally differnt.

[Rafael]

Thanks for your inputs!

John, i had a great time! The next opportunity we will meet!

I was at great paratujardin.com!

Hi Rafael,

Nice photos and I'm surprised at the diverse selection of palms. Very cool.
