Where to find a Pindo Palm in Houston?

I'm looking for some small to medium (3-15 gallon) sized PIndo palms in the Houston area.  The only ones I've found are at Houston Garden Center and they are $190, very green and not all that big?  Do the big box stores ever get them in?  I keep looking and it seems like less cold hardy palms are much easier to source.  You'd think such a cold hardy pinnate palm would be easy to find.

They occasionally pop up in box stores over here in NW FL but in small numbers at a time.

I recently bought a tree and had it shipped from California from "Junglemusic.net". It was packed really well and I got a 15 gallon Phoenix. So that's an option if you're willing to pay shipping. I believe he's got 15 gallon butias for $195. You'd have to ask for picture to see how big they are. The website is very old school

I see on the other thread that you were in Galveston.  Did you happen to stop in to Flamingo Gardens on your way out?  They usually have a pretty good palm selection and reasonably priced.

I didn’t. I’ll have to check it out next time. 
 

Found this nice silver Butia at my HOA private lakefront park.  I grabbed a few seeds Off the ground. Not round shaped like I was used to seeing from my odorata in Oregon.  Kinda pointy. Hopefully they’re still viable, otherwise I’m going to have to wait until late summer to get more.
