Just got back from Fairchild in Miami. They have some of the bluest E. princeps and Macrozamia macdonnellii! Their E. lehmannii is pretty blue, but not quite as. Are they applying some sort of waxy spray or something to preserve this color? These cycads are in the open, direct sunlight. Can email you photos too.
