A treasure in our home


We have a Cycad in our living room that has at different times thrived and at others it has looked like it might be on its last legs. Recently it put out all this new growth and I was struck by how beautiful it is. Each new shoot is so delicate and keeps changing everyday.

I decided to take some pictures and share this little treasure in our home. This rare prehistoric plant came to us via a previous room mate who had a thing for odd and exotic plant species. He and his partner moved out of the country and felt like they were unable to take the plant with them. I am unsure of its origin but know that they tend to be protected and are not allowed to be sold in many countries. I am happy to see it is finally thriving...
