    Palms are my favorite but i always have issues trying to figure them out. Is it a Reed Palm or a Feather Palm or a Fan palm etc?
    My first guess is Chrysaliocarpus lutescens but the stems do not seem "reed like". My 2nd guess is Phoenix canariesis but the stems seem to be longer and not as stiff as other canary date palms i have seen. My final guess is Cocos weddeliana (syagrus /microcoelum weddeliana)

    Thanks for any help...

    Probably Phoenix roebelenii, a common indoor pot plant.

    Thanks Michael...Roebelenii was a 4th guess. I just supposed the fronds seemed to not be as long as most roebeleneiis that i have seen.

    hanks for your help!
