Great pics. How do you differentiate dwarf from standard? I was given a small 4in. potted areca catechu with some frost damage. It has grown out of that and looks much like yours. It came from a huge liner farm in Sofl. They only had three of them and gave me it because he wasn't sure of its vitality.

These Rhopaloblaste augusta are looking good at the moment. They are growing in shade and are a little stretched, but I like the way they look.

Gileno, since the rainy season in Guatemala is just coming to an end now all the palms at the moment look really great. There are two however that every time I pass them I audibly sigh...Dypsis pembana and Dypsis lanceolata. Peter

They are beautiful, Jeff. I have to post some photos of my R. elegans... Your R. augusta seem to be a lot more finer....
