Has anyone heard of this palm before? It seems like its super rare, and also hardier then the regular form. IT gorgeous:

Very pretty, Jesse.
Doesn't form a trunk?

Bet the seeds are pricey.

The real scoop

There are unfortunately no saw palmettos like those in central Georgia. In fact, that pic was not even taken in Georgia. That variety is most commonly found along the east coast of Florida. The pic below has ones grown from east coast seed.
