Burnt leaves on the Sago this year, those leaves hardened off in full sun last year, thought it would be safe just to move it back outside. (oops.....

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
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.

Seems like an unusual trait, doesn't it?
I think it's fabulous...can you just imagine how WIDE that will be as it matures?
Might be a not-forgotten response to animals chewing on it zillions of years ago. Very cool!
Then there's mine...hasn't done bugger all this summer.
Oh well.

Hi Barb, Unusual by clustering at an early age, and you're right, I think it's going to be a large plant too.
Not much growth from yours this year? How did everything else do?

Steve, while this phenomenon is not common among clustering species, it is also not all that unusual. Some plants just tend to sucker more (and/or at an earlier age) than others. As you can see from the photo below, I once had a very small seedling of Dioon angustifolium that started to form a sucker.
And here are a couple photos of a heavily suckering D. edule growing in a yard here in Miami that just happens to have brick-red emergent leaves.
These latter photos are several years old now. This particular plant currently has a spread of around 8 feet and a multi-headed caudex that is more than 3-1/2 feet in diameter.
While many people prefer a single stem or fewer suckers, I find both growth forms interesting in their own right.

Hi Jody, Thanks for the photos, the red emergent Dioon is stunning !
Here is mine from April of last year,
It does seem well determined to spread out
I like the look of multi stemmed plants, the Cycas revoluta specimens at the Japanese temples are great examples.
This is a 1903 photo from Myokoku-ji, Osakafu, still there, and reported to be 1100 years old.

Had a trace of snow last weekend, and still a few things growing
Cycas sp. 'Wilailak' seding up a small flush, (3-4 fronds)
Brown emergent Zamia amblyphyllidia,
Zamia floridana X furfuracea, some of these have a nice red emergent color,
Dioon edule

Wow that Wilailak caudex has sure expanded.
There's something spectacular about that Dioon edule leaf flushing...are there more leaf segments than others?
Might be just my imagination.
Great closeup pics.

Hi Barb, The "Wilailak"s have done good ! They are in the GH year round now (took a couple outside last year, the wind here was not kind to them)
You're right about the Dioon, this one's at the stage where every leaf is bigger than the last.

Happy to say this Cycas revoluta finally is sending up new leaves.
Two or three months ago it wasn't doing ANYTHING, so I cut all the leaves off.
It just got stubborn I guess.
I thought it was a goner.
But I remembered you and Tom Broome saying "never give up on a cycad".
My old C.revoluta with the pups is still doing fine.
