These Sagos and Zamia seem to be happy! I am not familiar with their full names, but they don't seem to care!

Re: Spring growth
Just did a search for the Zamia, which is what I have always called "cardboard plant", but is listed here as Zamia furfuracea. In my search I found that, according to the University of Florida, Z. furfuracea is now Zamia maritima. Which, once again, proves that cacti are not the only plants with 'naming flux' disease.

Re: Spring growth
Not sure where you are getting your info from... the current list of Cycads per the cycad society does not list Z furfuracea that way, and even the Plantlist, a good source for lots of updated names (though cycads have been 'renamed' too far per the cycad society) still lists Zamia furfuracea as the correct name.

Re: Spring growth
One of many sources for this tid bit of info is :
http://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/ ... board.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I am not trying to start anything here, just sayin' is all... Besides, I much prefer to say furfuracea, it is so much more exotic than 'maritima'.

Re: Spring growth
Not sure where they got that idea from, but the international cycad society has not change Zamia furfuracea to another name yet, so I would probably just follow their lead.

Re: Spring growth
I'll stick with furfuracea, having always been a UGA fan (go Dawgs!), it does not other me in the slightest to ignore recommendations from UF!!!
