BEAUTIFUL!!! You will LOVE those!!!
I am actually more of a Cycad/Dioon guy now than I am a Palm guy. They are just easier to take care of and much more tolerable of adverse conditions than palms IMO.

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 E. horridus has good color already! ( Was that from the California place ?
Everything looks great 8)

Steve & anyone else interested, contact Dave at http://www.indianrockcycadsandpalms.com/page/page/3997974.htm He has fair prices & some excellent quality cycads. You won't be disappointed. I'm just addicted to the awesome blue Encephalartos.

Just got a nice shipment from Robert Chumley today. Included in the order was Guizhouensis X Taitungensis Hybrid x2 , Dioon "palmaSola" x 20, Dioon "Jacula" x 10, Softball size "Taitungensis" x10 (a few for my neighbor), and some Australian variety I forget the name at the moment... All very nice plants. I will get some pics when it is light out this week.
A big thank you to Robert Chumley once again !

Will look forward to the pics, Todd.
Sounds like quite a collection.
Must be nice to be able to SHIP stuff this time of year...not in the frozen north! 😥
