Hi Barb.
Are you referring to the one I had posted in the other thread?

Steve it was on page 1 of this thread, and you thought it might be E.natalensis.
Whatever it is, it's stunning.
I'm more amazed by these beauties every time I view them.

West Van Wes, I hope your plant kicks into gear.
Let us know if you got any cow manure, ha ha. 🙄
I had always heard NOT to fertilize a plant if it's sick.
Maybe it's just slow/late like some of mine.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Barb, Been too hot here lately for me to keep track of what I've posted 😆
More than likely E.natalensis, going to have to wait for larger leaves to be sure.
Your Z.vasquezii looks good 8) Mine usually grow at a good pace from May to October.

Ya, I hear you Steve.
Heat can suck all my energy out, too.

I'm delighted to hear Z. vasquezii might grow into October...

Hope you get a cool down soon...a rain would be most welcome I bet.
We got our rain last night and the morning today.
I was so thrilled it was cool, I almost ran naked in it. ALMOST. ha ha 😕

My other cycas revoluta (storebought this winter) was awfully slow to flush, but here it is.



8 fronds (though I expected 9, ha ha).

Gotta get some new pots. This one's in a cheap clay pot that is falling apart before my eyes.
Touch the pot and you get red all over your hands that won't wash off.
So much for bargain pots...

AWSOME Lucky!!!!!
I was surprised to see that one of my Revoluta is putting out it's second flush in 2 months. First one was only 5 leaves, not sure how many this one is.
That flush on yours looks GREAT!!!

We cycad lovers go gaga over a flush, and it's certainly worth the wait some of us endure.
To get a second flush (like most of you do) would be heaven.
These plants are true marvels of nature.

BTW, Lori Pickering of Jurassic Nursery has a new newsletter that details a reprinted article about cycad biology and the symbiotic relationship between the species and various beetles and weevils. It made fascinating reading.
Hope she'll post the newsletter on her member's page (hint, hint, Lori).

Thanks folks. And, yes, Steve, that Trachy has NEVER looked better. 😀

I'll try post a pic tomorrow. it is dark here now. Both new fronds are small. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Once I post the pic perhaps someone can give me advice.
