This plant volunteered in my yard which isn't that surprising considering that this is on Florida's invasive species list! None the less this is a beautiful species. And frankly I'm glad it popped up in my yard!
Category II—Species that have shown a potential to disrupt native plant communities. These species may become ranked as Category I, but have not yet demonstrated disruption of natural Florida communities.

Not a bad find in the yard. I like them as young palms, I think this is 1 of those palms that loses it appeal as it gets older.
@ Bestdank
