wow! Those are really gorgeous. No, there are no latin names on the plants. The guy who works there sometimes tells me he knows the latin name, I can't really follow when he says it so I will need to get him to write it down. I don't know, latin with spanish pronunciation gets lost in my brain. There are very few nurseries here that even attempt to know the latin names for any plants, they generally know the local common name which may not even be common for all of Mexico but only here in the Yucatan peninsula. So, NOID is my most common plant.
The kid who works there did say that there were bugs on some cycads he had over in a separate area. He had cut most of the branches off and said he was spraying them. I'm thinking now that it probably is the cycad scale and perhaps I should just forget the whole thing. My partner is telling me to wait until the fall as during the summer we keep the bedroom doors closed and have the AC on, it's only in the winter that we are open air. So, I wouldn't see the plant much until probably October.
I will look again at the different types that are not sagos and hopefully don't get that scale. Thank you.
