Two of the three palms in this view are not found in Florida. The bushy one in the centre is a native to a tiny piece of Queensland near Cape Melville in the far north, it's a Woodyetia or "foxtail" palm and is one of millions sold around the world originally propagated from seed stolen from the the National Park established to protect it.
The other skinny one is an Alexander or Bangalow palm, not sure which, of the Archontophoenix family.

The only palms I've been around have been in Florida, but so long ago that I don't remember.
Lovely palms. Good to read about the origen of them.
Quick way to tell Alex from Bangalow: Alex has whitish powder under its leaflets. Bangalow's leaflets are green both sides.
