I noticed that the midwest has been very warm this year. You guys have been warmer than AZ half the summer. 😯

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.

We've made it to 104F so far, with lots of days in the upper 90's
(would be nice if we have a warm winter too 😆

New frond on a Cycas siamensis seedling,
During the Summer, the Zamias have more of a continuous growth pattern,(as opposed to a flush of new leaves at one interval)

I was wondering about that Steve. I noticed my Pumila flushes continuos, and my Vasquez does the same, but does take a LIL break.

Good to hear your Cycads are moving along!
Sorry about your camera, are you shopping for a new one?

Noticed this small Cycas revoluta X taitungensis has a pup/sucker forming.
Here's a Zamia floridana showing some variegation.
(probably just a nutritional thing. With my luck, I'm sure the next leaf will be all green 😆

Bowenia still moving along,
I like watching these unfurl 8)
Zamia inermis,
This Zamia furfuracea is 2 years old and about 2" tall 😆
Not sure what is up with it? Maybe a dwarf, or just a really slow grower.................

Wes, your zamia and yucca collection looks great. Your plants are really getting big. I have a few zamia's, but they kind of take a back seat to my palm and tropical plants. But after seeing yours and Steve's pictures, I'll have to rethink placing some in the garden beds between other plants. Thanks for the picture updates.

Agree with Kent that either because of--or despite--my love of palms, the zamias don't seem to be keeping up.
Must be a cultural thingy...soil or water pH or something like that.
Or maybe it's because I swear at them for not growing!
Fabulous photography guys, fabulous specimens.
