New Arrivals-Cycads

Macrozamia 'Jurien Bay', is a cousin of the famous and much desired Macrozamia macdonnellii.  We've had both of these cycads, and yes, the macdonnellii is exquisitely blue-gray, but the Jurien Bay is green and turning blue, just like the E. longifolius is green turning blue, all dependent on the amount of sun it receives.  Otherwise, the Jurien Bay is a dead-ringer for the macdonnellii.  It is peculiar how speculation drives people to demand certain plants, while another plant that might not have notoriety goes unnoticed.  Reminds me of my dating years!

Encephalartos sclavoi, with about 6.5" caudex.  Quite mature, as evidenced by the condition of the box.  This is a new flush which began 4/2008.
