If you go by there let me know. I might need to load up on these :)

Stopped by today - picked up a few small things, B. alfredii, Orianopsis, etc. for grow out.

The Parajubaea look really nice - and only $149 for good size 15g plants.  I have a backlog of Parajubaea sitting on my driveway without homes, otherwise I would have been all over those.  Derrick, you should pick a couple up for that front yard.

What Jason doesn't mention above is that he has some SWEET cycads in as well...I picked up a good size 3g E. altenstenii, and he has some HUGE 25g E. natalensis for like $750.  If I could transport those E. natalensis, my bank account would be $750 lighter right now!  There are at least two monsters there.  Great to see cycads...besides sagos!

Also some really nice 25g Howea and a s**t ton of cool cactus/succulents as usual.

The V had a pretty good load back to the EB today!
