A few pictures of some of the palms at Moody Gardens on Galveston Island, Texas that I took over Thanksgiving last November.  Sabal mauritiiformis, Acoelorraphe wrightii, and Saribus rotundifolia I believe are in pictures 1, 4, and 2 (or at least that is what they were labeled); not sure about the one in picture 3.

Nice pics! Did you happen to capture the royal palms in their glory before the freeze?

Nice pics Rich.  It's been a couple of years since I visited and don't remember that Livistona in the Rain Forest Pyramid - maybe it's a new planting?  Looks like it's going to outgrow that space pretty quickly!

Aww, you were so close to them too haha. Next time. You can see their trunks and part of a frond in your Acoelorraphe pic
