E. horridus

E. arenarius blue form

I want to add some information about the E. arenarius blue form. Apparently there are two kinds 1. green cones 2. cones that look like E. horridus

The parents of these plants throw green cones. Also they flush light green then with time they turn green then blue. I have seen the parents of these seedlings.

I hope that carifies what call blue form .

Out of curiosity and not knowing cycads very well....what would you say is the bluest (and remains the bluest) of these different species?

David,

Of these, I'd have to go with the E. horridus, E. arenarius blue form can be variable, and my E. longifolius Jouberina form is a bit greenish on the undersides. A nice horridus can be icy blue.

The bluest of blues is E. hirsutus, but is extremely rare and hard to find, not to mention BIG dollars.

Freaky is spot on. You can add on E. lehmanii and E. munchii for being very blue .

Am I blue? Am I blue!

In the nursery, I've been such a fool!

I don't know just what I'm gonna do,

Am I blue, am I blue!

Randy, it is good you clarified the "blue" E. arenarius thing. True E. arenarius "blue" cones and flushes green. The plant going around as "Blue E. arenarius" that have brilliant blue leaves, most think is an E. horridus cross. The give away it is not a true E. arenarius is cone color and the fact it flushes the brownish/pink. Both are great plants.

Enjoy those E. horridus seedling you picked up Dave.

I just picked up some Encephalartos caffer Humansdorf variation seedling. This is the rare form of this cycad! This very rare cycad is subterranean and has light green twisted leaves that get 36" long. This plant will fit in smaller gardens. It likes part shade to full sun. It's a beautiful plant. The pic represents the plants available. Price is $75.00. I can only ship this plant in the USA. Google it for pics and info..

I am sold out of the E. longifolius. The others are still available

Do you have any of the arenarius blue form seedlings left? And these are the blue form not the blue leaf correct?

Thanks

Len,

This is an interesting subject matter. I have a E. arenarius blue form and I have a E. horridus X E. arenarius green form that Jeff Chemnick created. I can't see any difference between the two. I'll take pics and post them latter today in the tropical plants section.
