Hi group.

Here's a shot a nice Zamia skinneri I picked up for a bargain at a local plant sale today (stoked!), which I thought I'd share which you all.

What a pretty thing. Will they survive in the subtropics or as an indoor plant ?

Hi Peachy.

For sure - I know several people down there growing them in their landscapes.

Give them some protection and don't let them dry out and they'll be happy as!

Cheers, Kurt

Kurt, nice plant! Do you know if it is red- or green-emergent? If red, it now has a new name: Zamia imperialis.

Here is the paper that provides the description of the species known by many as the "red-emergent skinneri", as well as information on the entire Z. skinneri complex:
