This is my most amazing palm- Archonto myolensis... was dead after the freeze, or so I thought (the other two that died really did die).. but this one kept one green leaf, but then the spike pulled out... most crownshafted palms that lose a spike are hopeless... yet 9 months later (just a few weeks ago) this dinky little leaf worked its way out of the fungal goo below in the deep, sinky hole that used to hold the new leaves... amazing. Still, now it's cooling off I will be lucky if it makes it through this winter, even if it's mild... but if it does, it should be OK by next winter.
