Bought these three plams on clearance ($20 each), not really sure what I bought as they are not labelled.
Three palms:
1. The first palm is silver and has very think looking leaves
2. The second one kind of looks like a windmill palm, trunk looks very similar, but compared to the windmill palms I have, the leaves are smaller and finer
3. The third palm has large hooked thorns on the stems

Dont know what palm is the first one
The second "windmillish" palm... if the trunk has hige spines it may be a needle. the third is some sotve of date palm

The first pic - Palm on left appears to be a Livistonia, Palm on right is a Butia
Pic 2-5 is definately a trachycarpus
Pic 6-8 Looks vicious. Need a frond or full shot of the palm, thorns don't look right for a Phoenix. Looks like another Livistonia. Did your pix get out of order?

Thank you for identifying the first two, despite the order of some of the pictures being messed up.
I'll try and take a profile picture of the third one tomorrow.
