A quick update to our meeting itinerary.  Lunch plans are currently in planning, but leadership has asked that folks bring sides or desserts to share.

I am planning on being there, and will bring a bunch of fist-sized Cycas Thouarsii offsets.  I sliced off over 50 of them from a local "tree" with ~9 feet of trunk!

@Merlyn See you there and thank you for bringing a bunch of cycads!

All, you may need a jacket in the morning.

Oooooooh, nice!!!

I'll be bringing some of my hybrids....Cycas revoluta x multifrondis and Cycas revoluta x diannanensis and maybe one or two other varieties.

@kinzyjr that's shorts and sweater weather! :D

@Scott W if you have any pure Diannanensis I'd be interested in a smaller one...and maybe a couple of the Rev x Multifrondis. 

If anyone has quart to ~1g size Kerriodoxa Elegans, Licuala Spinosa or Ramsayi bring one for me to buy!  :D

Great meeting everyone, and thanks for taking most of the Thouarsii pups!  I'm not sure who picked up the freebie agave offsets, but they are Franzosinii.  It's a variant of Americana but thinner leaves and super silver-blue.  They are fast growing in Florida up to around 6' in diameter and height.

... not for this cold-sensitive species ;)

@Merlyn It was a pleasure to finally meet you!

I posted a short write-up and some photos in the main discussion area since this will open as a botanical garden next fall.  You can view that thread here:
