Couple months ago my friend brought me these palm seeds back from a Cruise in the caribbean. I'm not sure what they are but 9 out of 15 sprouted within two weeks.
Here's pics of them today. They're really starting to take off.
Hope there something good!

Looks like Christmas palm seedlings.

That could very well be. Those seed look the exactly the same. I think you may have ID them. I was hoping someone may be able to tell what they were. I do love the Christmas palms. Thanks Wax! Are those your seedlings? Old Pic or recent?
Hope they grow fast.

There's many palms a that stage of development that appear similar.
One I have is Archontophoenix alexandrae (King palm).
Do you have a photo of the parent palm? That would help solve the mystery.
Cheers, Barrie.

No, I found that pic online. But I have a Christmas palm seedling that's just starting to get pinnate leaves. I remember the forked leaves clearly early in its life.

Barrie,
One of the palms in this Pic I believe. My friend said they had red on them and they were picked up in front of the hotel. (I think to the left).
