I love it when its new growth time on the cycads. Spring you magnificent thing! Putting on displays like this, its brilliant. We have a heap of cycads at work and I have a bad habit of forgetting the name of them. Makes it interesting when I try to talk to my coworkers about them and Im trying to jog my memory, Im sure I look and sound like Im trying to get caramel off my teeth. Cycads are an australian native, for some reason this really blew my mind when I found out. They are very slow growing and extremely hardy. We have them growing in some of the unreticulated areas of the parks and they bluntly refuse to die. The one in this picture is growing in one of the staff gardens at work, its the biggest and healthiest of the several dozen that are growing. Quite magnificent really.
