I saw it while out today and it looks totally different than any of the palms around. The fronds are amazing, then it has a very beautiful set of stripes.It is solitary, the little one next to the big one is not connected. I couldn't quite determine which species this is, cause it looks like several. Anyone know?

And it must be easy to germinate!

Soon you'll have plants for your garden and maybe neighbors if, like me, you collect too many seeds!

I always feel you can never have too many seeds. :mrlooney:

That looks remarkably close to the specimens I collected from in Florida.

I have about a dozen seedlings in various stages of development up here in cold country.

Very VERY easy to germinate and, so far at least, very tolerant of my mistakes.

Veitchia are one of my favorite genera but they are very common here on the Big Island so they don't get a lot of attention from palm people. We have two in our garden. If the crownsaft is whitish it is probably an arecina or winniin. (I don't know if these are actually separate species or different names for the same species.) One of the things I love about this Veitchia is the thickness of the leaflets and their rather discheveled fronds. I call palms like this 'Bad Hair Day' - and I mean that as a complement!
