Nope, all started from seed from rarepalmseeds.com. Maybe it's this unbelievably hot and dry summer we had? Not sure, but something triggered it, and I'm thinking along the same lines as you when you suggested stress. The ones at the garden look really cool, and might have some viable seed too. They started flowering in August after being planted in May. I was so looking forward to them growing to their massive mature size though. Oh well.
