I was adding pictures of species that they didn't pictures of, just about the first day I came here. I have already added more than 40 pictures and have proposals in correcting the incorrect species named in the database. I think we got all the cycad corrections taken care of.
Encephalartos arenarius looks like a horridus on steroids and likes our weather here in Florida, and that is the picture I showed above. E. horridus does not like central Florida because it gets about 1.8 inches of rain all year in habitat. My one and only horridus has a 4 inch stem, but only one leaf, so it isn't really worthy of a good picture. The people in California have good looking horridus plants. They also do well in our coastal locations. I know Kopsick arboretum in St . Petersburg had some nice blue stuff, I don't know if they have any good ones on Naples. Hetty, do you have any good ones down there?
