Good afternoon! 
Today I saw a Variegated Washingtonia in Tempe Arizona, in front of someone’s business. First one I’ve seen in person randomly around. Enjoy.

    Looks like the variegated leaves have some burn while the green do not.  Quite a striking palm!

    I like the racing stripes on the petioles!

    That is probably the best looking variegated palm I’ve seen. I’m usually not a “fan”of variegation but this one is great!

    Thats awesome...I like the stripped petioles and the coloration is

    great in that palm,to bad the light part burns but they probably grow fastest enough to 

    always be putting out some nice leaves :greenthumb:

    Looks to be a filibusta so at least a couple of years before it flowers.  I've seen them flower and set seed here with as little as 6' of trunk.

    Would seeds from this palm produce variegated seedlings? Or would it just be completely random. 

    Very good chance that SOME of the seeds will produce varigation. Varigated plants generally don't look good in Arizona blazing summer sun though.

    Beautiful, in the streetview link you can see that the palm only developed the variegation AFTER 2019. Before, it was a regular green filibusta.
