Hi,

Just to clarify "Alba" means white, so it would technically be all white, which would result in a dead plant, since it has no chlorophyll. (Albino, in other words.)

I have a batch of sprouted seeds / seedlings of Cycas revoluta Aurea. Feel free to contact me privately. Thank you.

The 'aurea' revolutas can also be found by searching nurseries. Although every nursery has is own 'personality', there are a few around my city, that occaisionally have 'aurea's for sale, though, they (the nursery) doesn't know it's an aurea. I have also found beautifully crested sagos this way, and cheaply too. Some nurseries have better pickings than others. I enjoy looking at plants. I often travel around nurseries just to see what they have. You can develop a knack for finding things, if you have the time to look. You do have to be able to distinguish a true aurea from plants that have nutricional deficits, but, with a little experience, you can do that too. Anyways, it works for me because I enjoy spending entire afternoons browsing thru stock, although my wife thinks it's a huge waste of time, which she is kinda right.

Haha, that was my plan B, guess I should make it my plan A, to go to nurseries with huge stocks of C. Revoluta and see if there is an odd one in the bunch. Thanks!

Well be careful, as what looks to be 'aurea' revolutas can really be nutritional deficient revolutas. I know of one nurseryman here who told me point blank he sold nutritional deficient revolutas as 'aurea' to people who truly believed that they were.

LJ is right - don't be fooled by the over-ambitious posts above. If they were that easy to come across, we'd all have some.
