Palm Oddity 1
Two headed Rhapis excelsa 'green variegated'

Palm Oddity 2 

 Top image is close up of the variegated leaves, upon closer inspection it was noted that the variegation ran through and down the petioles. This is truly one of nature's natural wonders, as Sabal minor grows like weeds in this part of Texas (Brazoria) and this is the only one ever spotted.

 
 This image was taken by Blake Volk showing both the palm and the cow pasture that it grows in. Mike Rayburn, said that the cattle have been stomping and grazing on it, so he plans on building an enclosure around this rare palm to protect and preserve this oddity of nature.
