Allagoptera arenaria hybrid?

Followers

A friend and neighbor gave me this palm as a gift--it was gifted as an Allagoptera arenaria. Just looking at the palm, I knew it was not an regular Seashore palm... I know my friend germinated it and he is one of the most meticulous(tagging and dating and germination methods) and best germinators I know, so the seed definitely came from what it was labelled as. I am guessing the father must be a Syagrus(possibly a queen?) as that would be the most likely scenario--I am also pretty sure the seed came from Fairchild, as he teaches a couple palm classes there and as such, uses the seeds for educational purposes in germination techniques. Anyways, I am not really posing a question, but rather just sharing this neat little hybrid. I don't have an arenaria but am glad to have this palm! I welcome your comments and questions--thanks for your time.
