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.

The Zamia may be very pleased about your $3 purchase price and has decided to cone to show its appreciation for your thrifty shopping efforts. Either that or you have provided perfect growing conditions.

Wes, Good work with yours! Let me know next time, would be great to have seed set 8)
Kent, If you're looking, Lowes carries those planters too.
Either that or you have provided perfect growing conditions.
Not sure about that, I think the plant has just adapted to my bad habits 😆
Things still moving along,

The largest cone is just starting to open up now,
Once it starts shedding pollen, I will be attempting to collect & store.
Here is a good article that covers that: http://cycadjungle.8m.com/cycadjungle/Collection%20and%20Storage%20of%20Cycad%20Pollen.html

Steve, if your plant is on a similar schedule to mine, it should be dropping pollen soon. Here is a photo of my male:
And here is my female right next to it:
This species often gets open-pollinated in my yard (you can see some volunteer seedlings behind the female cone). So far I haven't seen any beetles on any of the cones, so I may have to hand pollinate this year.

Jody, Looks close enough to be the same schedule 8)
Luck with yours and thanks for the photos, nice to see what a female cone looks like!

Post a photo and we can probably help you out with the sex ID.
