New palm seeds

Friday, I received a packet of seeds for a silver cultivar of the European fan palm [Chamaerops humilis var cerifera] from Morocco. It's a very beautiful palm, takes 2 or 3 months to germinate, grows somewhat slowly to 10 feet, and is hardy to zone 7b. Also, like the green one, it develops multiple stems in time, so once established, it can be propagated vegetatively. I'm going to plant some of them in pots today.
