Seeds from Rob Wagner
Sorry I'm at work and don't have your email but wanted to say thanks for the "seeds". I got them yesterday and you were generous. Thanks a bunch. I'll keep you posted on their germination. They look fresh and half are in soaking as we speak! Thanks again.

They are the Syagrus romanzoffianum 'Silver Queen' everyone has been speculating on.
While I doubt they are practical as a permanent feature they may be able to survive long enough to be "fun" temporary plants. Maybe some will survive in various "banana belts".
The seed looks good but be forewarned that they have rather thick coats that may take a long time to penetrate. I'm tempted to try cracking a few or filing down the coats a bit.

Any luck germinating these? How about an update.
