I find the leaf color and delicate shape particularly beautiful.
Once we warm up here, they'll all get morning sun on the patio.
Till then they're still indoors.

Dean,
I'm not tempting fate with this little guy...he's in the house for all but the warmest summer days (in the shade).

Here's Steve's 2006 comment about his:

How's your Zamia vasquezii doing now, Barb. What kind of potting medium did you use? It looks like it has alot of bark in it from the picture.
