Anyone know of a Brahea clara for sale in Southern California?

I would be willing to pay a good price for one that is particularly white and "droopy".

Dream palm example...

Try Perry Glenn at 805.550.2708.  He lives on the west side of Santa Barbara, just a few minutes off the US 101. 

Stacey, It might be that they are green when juvenile, and will develop the silver as they mature ?  I don't really know palmate palms that well.

I bought a juvenile Brahea clara 'icy blue' several years ago from Texas Cold Hardy Palms and it already had nice blue coloring.  I don't know for sure if they germinate the same but Brahea armata are quite blue from the first strap-leaf.  :) On the other hand Brahea 'super silver' start green and turn silver as they mature.  I'm still waiting for my green 'super silver' ...

The 2 I bought from Yucca Do Nursery (long gone) were silver (6" seedlings) from the 'get go', and are clearly not the same as B. armata, or B. aculeata. Another mysterious species I grew in SoCal that is very similar to B. clara is B. elegans.
