Dypsis sp. 'metallic'

I have a small one that is starting to pick up speed

I snuck out in the rain for a better pic

Looks a lot like palms Jeff was selling as Dypsis ampasandavae, now renamed Crysalidocarpus loucobensis. Here's mine:

The palm doesn't seem too happy, rarely holding more than two green leaves and not growing much. My "vatovavy blue" looks similar. I know this info duplicates what I posted earlier in this thread.

I can’t wait for mine to look like Tim’s. Perfect timing for updates

Mine opened up a new leaf about a month ago. I’m fairly certain that it’s a Sp Metallic because of the sheen, wide/thick leaflets, robust petioles, and the fact that it came in as Ovobontsira 8.5 years ago from RPS (I believe)
