    Greetings all,

    This is a palm tree that looks like a queen palm but it is not. Any ideas?

    Also the other pic, is it iris? what kind of iris?

    Thank you so much.

    Palm looks similar to one called Hungurahua here.

    Irises are probably irises, but the pic is too small to make out the details. Can you post a bigger one, maybe a closeup of the bloom?

    Looks like Wodyetia bifurcuta or Foxtail palm.

    lorax, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, zooming on the iris will make it worse. It was a distant pic.

    edleigh7, thank you and it is indeed foxtail. After your reply, I searched google and it is the one.

    Thank you.
