They seem to be the same exact fan palm. I have the regular(2 in ground , one still in pot till next year or two when it should be old enough) and the silver which I grew from a single leaf and now at 3 years old is starting to look like a real palm. I won't dare put it out in the ground for another 3 years though(maybe I'll let HollyBerry take it till then).
Mahonia a "weed " there? Funny how that works......and both ways. I paid a good buck for my scrawny little one that has never done all that well, I think the winters are too cold even though it overwinters fine and it might need more water than just the natural rainfall here.
