Hi everyone. I spotted this palm from the road so I got out to take pictures. This is in the Felts Audubon Preserve in Palmetto, Fl. I walked around a little to try and find a mature palm that this small one could have come from, but there was none around that I saw. I didn't have enough time to check the entire park though, so I'll probably come back in the future to check. It's cool to see these in the wild! Here are some pictures.

Very cool! Love the habitat pictures. And I would like to see a big one too, or the mommy plant. :)

That is really a nice find.....don't guess there is any seed?..... It will be great when these smaller Lisa's start seeding and become more available. Tom GA has been posting pictures of a S. causiarum with the Lisa trait over in the Sabal Minor thread in the Cold Hardy Palms section. He collected the seed himself from a S. causiarum. Thought it would be of interest among you who do not normally check the Cold Hardy section.

Chances are pretty good that is a mutation that occurred in that seedling and the mother plant is normal.
