Starting to flush.
This stage always reminds me of praying hands.

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.

Thanks guys
...as though they're hardy here, ha ha! 😆
This one does well indoors, as full sun (even for a few hours in the morning) sunburns the fronds very badly.

Nice Cycad Barb
I almost ordered D spinulosum seeds. I opted for good ole Dioon edule. Squirrels got all but one zamia, which isnt doing much lol.

Thanks Jesse
Between your/Paul's/Tim's squirrels and rabbits, I don't know how you get ONE seed to pop...ever.
You'll love the blue fronds of Dioon edule.
Have you tried laying a mesh screen over the seedling pots to prevent seed losses?
Cycad seeds are pretty expensive.

Its just that time of year 😀 I just have so many places for them to hide things is alll..... "if you build it they will come", right 😀
For some reason I never thought about mesh. I just surrounded the last zamia seed with pots, and its been fine.... I will remember mesh for next year!

Easy to pick up a few feet of plastic mesh for screen doors at your local hardware/door/window company.
Comes in 12-foot rolls, I think.
When I had a lot of seedlings, I'd cut it into a five-foot long strip, wide enough for seedling pot width, and then a rock on the first--and last--pot keeps mesh from blowing away/lifting up in wind.
But you'd need wire mesh if you have lots of rabbits, etc.
