These may be common in landscape use in S. FL but I don't know what they are:

The thin trunk-ed palms might be of use to me.   The others look similar to licuala.

Not sure about the first might be adonidia. The second is a Rhapis probably excelsa.

They could be adonidia though the trunks seems so slender as opposed to what I have and see with typical adonidia palms.  If they are adonidia, I'd like to know how to get them to grow with such thin trunks.

Definitely looks like Rhapis excelsa.  

Thx

Funny, years ago I collected seed in Hawaii of what I was sure was Adonidia. They all grew for me & I remember thinking to myself "I must just be a superior grower; these aren't too hard at all". Then a palmtalker stopped by a few years later & commented "Nice Ptychos". Yeah, I knew that...

Definitely Ptychosperma elegans.  Common names include solitaire palm or Alexander palm.  Other fan palm is Rhapis excelsa known as lady palm.

:innocent: Sounds like something I would have done.
