Couldn't keep my wallet closed and brought another cycad home from the Fall Plant sale at Tropiflora in Sarasota. Really went there to buy some more broms but then I got to talking to a palm/cycad vendor and lost the battle. So some of the non-broms brought home were - drum roll please:
Pachypodium lamerei var. ramosum (it was on sale for 3 bucks and called out to me). It's common name is Madagascar Palm so I guess it belongs here.
Then came my first variegated Rhapis excelsa (Lady Palm in white)
Then came a frost tolerant palm called a Mule Palm - Butyagrus nabonnandii (Butia capitata x Syagnus)
Note that every plant I bought had to be frost tolerant. I'm still a bit nervous from last winter. The sign and the cycad Dioone edule:
