That is a stunning collection, Josef. Do you over-winter them in that greenhouse shown on the right? Can you give us a list of the species shown?

Your cycads are an inspiration to us! Mine are smaller, but I will be very lucky if they look as good as yours do in a few years. More pics!

Josef, I'm guessing you have a horticultural background (to be soooooo successful with these
stunning plants).

Nice, Josef, how do you get the leaves so shiny? Is that a charcteristic of that Encephalartos?

Hi cycadfreak, welcome.

You say your cycads are in the basement.
Is there a reason you're not summering them outdoors in Colorado?
