Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yup, I'm always thinking of food... 😆 😆

Your batch will be 100% germination.

The cool thing about C.debaoensis is that while every seedling is similar, they exhibit different characteristics at different times from their siblings.

It'll be great to hear you report the leaf waviness starting.
They'll move very fast now.

I'll post some photos as they grow.

You barely opened the package and they started germinating

That foretold the percentage.

Holy cow, they're really moving along DAILY, I can see the difference.

Look forward to seeing the first green thingy 😆 😆

Kent, Thanks! Bought a new camera last May, I'm just figuring out how to properly use it 😆

Todd, They came from Tom at the Cycad Jungle: http://cycadjungle.8m.com/
Seeds are not always listed on the website. When they are available, an inventory listing is sent by email.
(If interested, just contact them and ask to be put on the email list)

Beautiful photography Steve.

Getting fresh seeds is unparalleled.
Palm seeds could take a lesson from how these C.debaoensis germinate.

Mine last year weren't as fresh as yours, but took about a month, I think.
They're so quick to develop and change, each change in a cycad is such a delightful process.

Palms...still yawning...er...a waiting.
