Thanks! Glad you like it! I've posted several pics of the palm in the past.

Milky,

Thanks! It is a very symmetrical palm. : > )

Junglejen:

The Pritchardia palms of Hawaii are almost all endangered, unfortunately! However, they are commonly available here at palm nurseries. It may be a little difficult to find where you live...let me know if you see this palm for sale...or any Pritchardia species for sale where you live. I'm curious. : >)
