Hey these are some nice looking ones!!!
You okay up there,loose power?
The other seeds loooked like raisins!

Hi Don!
This area got hit pretty hard, lots of trees and power lines down. We only lost power for a day & night, some of these people will be lucky to have it restored by Christmas.

I have a few trees that fell on the house, going to try and cut some of them up today.
How did your area do?

Steve

Had some tall bamboo get broke in half,had icing but it melted the next day,no power loss,did you lose any plants in the greenhouse?
We were spared here,saying now 6 inches of snow tonite and tomorrow!

I ended up burning a lot of leaves off things in the GH. ( had too large a kerosene heater in a small tightly packed area - kept it above freezing at least)

Looks like plenty of snow on the way!, after the ice, I'll be happy with just snow 😀

Steve

Well that was the important thing keep things from freezing,new leaves will come.
Hasn't started snowing yet!

Sorry to hear about the bamboo, those were getting pretty tall the last I saw them.

Here is a link to some photos from the area, http://www.kake.com/home/headlines/12355236.html

Oh Man!
Does that bring back memories couple years back,when the ice storm took my big tree,and put it on top of my house.
Ice storms show no mercy!!!

Like most Cycas, the end of the seed will split open, this will enlarge as the embryo develops. After a time, the radicle will emerge from this opening.

Steve

A little further along, if the hold time and everything else is correct, a radicle will soon emerge. ( If not, this is all that this seed is going to do )

Cool,keep us updated on this seed!

Thanks for the Info about the end of the seed cracking, I didnt know this. Newbie.... lol

Looking for some palm/cycad seeds and seedlings if anyonr has any...
