    Can anyone identify this plant? I have the same one and I'm looking for an ID.

    Thanks!

    Difficult to be sure because of the low quality pictures but it looks like Hyophorbe verschaffeltii, Spindle Palm.

    Better pictures would be helpful. Spindle palm fronds have an orange color.

    Down here just south of the border, the one the home centers are selling gobs of that looks close to that is the the Majesty Palm, Ravenea rivularis.
