E.  GHELLINCKII   this is another nice plant. When you see  the leaves of this plant it will blow you away. They are inverted  inward, the leaf lets role into tubes the width of pine needles and  are covered with fine white hair.

A wonderful group of plants with a wide range of characteristics, with the smallest  being dwarf subterranean  plants such as  Humilis or  Cupidus which rarely grows more then a foot of trunk where at the  other end you have giant plants like  Transvenosus and Laurentianus with long  leaves and massive trunks, but the leaves are what really sets them apart from all the  others like Horridus with it’s bright blue leaves that curls to complete circles at the  ends or like Ghellinckii that has leaflets the  width of pine needles that even withstands  snowfall . I can’t even start to describe all  the unique varieties. With each new issue I  will try to put in as many new photos as I  can .

E.  FRIDERICI GUILIELMI  This plant is very different  from  most other Encephalartos, the leaf bases last for years,  they give it a prehistoric appearance, I have seen some large  specimens of this plant and I was very impressed. The trunk was  massive, it had a very different color and texture sort of like a mutant  fern. The plants throws a very large number of leaves at a time. It is  also very cold tolerant withstanding even heavy frost.  We have  seedlings with a 1” bulb for $55., the 2” bulbs have 3 to 6  leaves, they are in 5 gallon cans for $125., we also have some  really nice 4” to 5” in 16” cedar boxes.
