That is a great list of palms, Zig. It tells me you have a sizeable piece of property and are at least a zone 11. True? I have to pick palms that will take a little frost in the winter and my lot size is only an acre. I do have a Licuala grandis and a Hyophorbe lagenicaulis but both are in containers and well protected on cold nights. Here is my palm list:

Acoelorrhaphe wrightii (paurotis palm)
Arenga engleri (clustering sugar palm)
Beccariophoenix alfredii (high plateau palm)
Bismarkia nobilis (Bismark palm)
Caryota urens (toddy fishtail palm)
Chamaedorea cataractarum (cat palm)
Chamaedorea microspadix (hardy bamboo palm)
Chamaerops humilis, var. cerifera (European fan palm, blue form)
Copernicia alba (caranday palm)
Hyophorbe lagenicaulis (bottle palm)
Licuala grandis (licuala palm)
Livistona decipiens or decora (ribbon fan palm)
Livistona saribus (taraw palm)
Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island date palm)
Phoenix dactylifera (true date palm)
Phoenix reclinata (Senegal date palm)
Phoenix roebelenii (pygmy date palm)
Phoenix rupicola (cliff date palm)
Phoenix sylvestris (wild date palm)
Ravenea glauca or rivularis (majesty palm)
Rhapis subtilis (Thai lady palm
Sabal uresana (Sonoran palmetto)
Syagrus romanzoffiana (queen palm)
Wallichia densiflora (Wallich's dwarf fishtail palm)
Wallichia districhia (Wallich’s palm)
Washingtonia robusta (Washington palm)
Wodyetia bifurcata (foxtail palm)

My Cycad list:

Bowenia serrulata
Ceratozamia hildae
Ceratozamia kuesteriana
Dioon edule
Dioon edule ‘Palma Sola’
Dioon merolae
Dioon spinulosum
Encephalartos ferox
Encephalartos gratus
Encephalartos hildebrandtii
Lepidozamia peroffskyana
Zamia maritima (cardboard palm)
Zamia floridana (coontie palm)

I know they are not nearly as exotic as yours but I have to work within my boundries. I do grow lots of orchids but they are small enough to protect.
