I love Caryotas too! I have several in the GH. they are still pretty small but they grow into monsters really fast, don't they? I bought a couple of Caryota zebrina from an eBay vendor for a very cheap price (like, $7 each...before folks 'noticed' them and they started selling for $30+)...they were about 5-6" when I got them and are now 18" or more and the trunks are showing the striping. Its hard for me to get photos of some of the st'individual palms in the GH, especially the pinnate and fishtails, because they seem to get 'lost' in all the background 'noise'. I do need to photograph a lot of my palms for growth documentation though. Here are a few smaller growers, little rainforest understory palms. I have a small Dypsis decaryi planted in the yard. It went through the 20's this winter without even leafburn! Much better than my Areca would have. They do look very similar though, to me anyway.

Rachel you are welcome to stop in on your way to St Augustine! We go over there occasionally. We like to eat at the A1A Ale House (I think that's what its called...). My husband loves O'Steens too. Being a vegetarian its hard for me to find food at O'Steens though.

Tigerlily, if I ever got to Hawaii, they'd have to take me out in a box. No way I would leave on my own!!!!
