That's truly a beauty, Steve.
Have never seen one before.
The leaf ribbing is spectacular.
Did the mailman also bring you c.debaoensis? '

I look at that ribbing time and time again.
It almost resembles welts, so perfectly formed.
Truly nature's art.
If your C.debaoensis are coming from the same source, they'll be something to gawk at!

Nice plant, Steve. Please post photos as it grows.
Speaking of C. debaoensis, if anyone here in the US is interested, I have several seedlings of an especially plumose form for sale. Feel free to contact me privately at jody@cycadconservation.org. Here is a photo of the mother plant:

Jody, great looking C. debaoensis!
Barb, This is my first plicate leaved Zamia (so I'm keeping my fingers crossed
The majority are a nice bronze emergent too!

Steve,
From that link, sounds like your Zamia would be happy living in the fishpond.
Jody,
I'm speechless from that picture.
So delicate and lovely.

Barb, when I was working at a botanical garden here in Florida I had several Zamia roezlii planted in an area near some mangroves that stayed wet most of the time and was occasionally inundated -- knowing that they grow under such conditions in nature. None of them survived. Those planted under "normal" conditions with other tropical zamias in raised beds did great.

Oops then!
Strange that in situ plants (and their culture) occasionally bombs when we try to duplicate conditions.
I hope Steve reads that.

With only one, it went into an oversize container to keep it on the moist side.
(taking no chances
Zamia roezlii does seem to have potential in a aquatic setting, once I have some more, it might be worth experimenting with. I would imagine the root structure might need to acclimate to an aquatic setting? (fundamental change?)
Maybe starting with small seedlings / germinated seeds might improve the odds.
