Should've known without the leaf serrations this was too good to be true.
Apparently a zamioculcas zamiifolia (which means I got sucked in with the 6" tropical label).
Oh well.

Zamias?

Zamias? I,ve got zamias coming out of my ears. What kind of zamia do you want? I've also got Ceratozamias and Macrozamias.......very cold hearty. Big ones, small ones, and even weird ones. chumleyrobert@hotmail.com Thanks, Robert
I live on 12 acres in Central Florida about half way between Tampa and Walt Disney World.I have seed colonies of over 60 varieties of cycads. I have over one half acre of variegated cycads and I make many hybrids as well.

Thanks, Robert, but it's such a hassle to get plants into Canada from anywhere else
that I'll pass (with kind thanks!!!)

My untrained eye simply thought it was a super bargain ...
until I found out it wasn't the real thing.

I've seen pics of the plants you've sent to forum members.
They are beautiful specimens.
Thanks again, Robert.
