ID request for Nannorrhops (?) in bloom, species unknown


Recommended Posts

I believe this is a Nannorrhops, but am unsure of the species. I'm hoping the bloom might help with a positive ID. The bloom is the center stalk

Anyone know this tree?

@Sean Osborne there's just one species -  Nannorrhops ritchiana although there is a blue/silver form native to Iran and a green form from Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India from high elevations that is extremely cold hardy in dry climates.  Where is this palm located?

There are two species; N ritchiana and N baluchestanica which is the blue/silver one from Iran. My understanding is that N ritchiana is still variable from green to bluish, but never as silvery as N baluchestanica. 
 

I feel like the one pictured in this thread is likely N ritchiana. Photos are N baluchestanica I’ve seen seem to show them being ghostly white/silver from the first frond.
