The fronds are leafy part.
that hairy stuff
The bulb is the round part at the bottom. The frond is the leafy - very tiny leafy - part at the top. A lot of stores remove it before selling, so don't be nervous if it isn't there.
Fonds is the character that Henry Winkler played in the sitcom 'Happy Days'
