Thought I'd show off my Pseudophoenix Ekmanii first.
Photo one taken in April of 2003 after 2 years in the ground. It was bought in 1998 in a "conetainer".
Photo two taken June 13th 2010
Maybe the cold hardiness of both B.eriospatha and Jubaea added to the high humidity resistance of B.eriospatha will make the hybrid of both a winner....
To me it looks like it could have miraguama in it but the leaves look thin and not very stiff. I have some seeds I picked up from fairchild plant sale that were from a miraguama like plant as the man called it and they look similar to the ones posted here. Mine had small thin leafs when they were the size of yours. This was a night photo so not so great. Sometimes the silver does not come until later at least that is my observation.
And now the "Big Daddy" of the three:
Pseudophoenix Vinifera taken in 2005, Not sure how long it's been in the ground.
Second picture taken in 2010 and yup, it's grown a bit. It sometimes gets a lot of water when I refill the Lily Pond and forget to shut off the water and it over flows for an hour or two.
Next is Pseudophoenix Sargentii
Photo one taken in 2003 when it was planted out 2 years after I got it as a SEED.
Photo two taken in 2010 as is the third.
They were heavily marketed for many years as cocos plumosa, although they were officially classified as Arecastrum romanzoffianum, before being reclassified as Syagrus. In Australia we still just refer to them as a cocos palm, instead of a queen palm.

Here is a photo of my Butia x Syagrus x Syagrus. Mark Lynn has done a few of these.
