After this, I'd say my fave is most likely Socratea exorrhiza (Chonta) or Mauritia flexuosa (Morete). I'll have to troll the archives for photos of those.

Yes Beth, I love the S exorrhiza. Real cool looking with the high heels.
So do you know all the palm species in your area? I guess you must know what's on my mind already....

AA, This is a real beauty. I had one years ago as a 3 leaf sdlg which grew to a monster size after 9 years. I relocated and left it at that house. I still see it whenever I am in that area. It's a lovely silver colored
huge palm. Once they are established in the ground, there's no stopping them. The sds, if you can get them are very easy to germinate. They come up in just a month or so with very long roots. Right now, they have become another landscaping favorite in the city. However, the idiots plant them very close with a distance of only 6ft! How little these small brained version of humans know...
