Looks to me like a Z. furfuracea that has been grown in the shade.....

It has actually grown in sun. It just flushed a few months ago and it has another cone emerging now. I've always wondered if it's possibly a hybrid.

I would go with Zamia pumila.

Len I think that looks like it after doing a little research. Helps to know what it is before I plant it somewhere. It had a much different look when I first got it since it was shade grown. Now it's taking sun most of the day until about 4pm. Thanks for your input guys!

Yes it has a nice female cone and another one the way right now. That thing took snow last winter and hot sun this summer and and just laughs at it. I will have it planted in the garden soon. Thanks everyone!
