Sago palms are ancient !!!
This Sago center was fascinating to me.
The center seed pods are about the size of ping pong balls. They appear to be frosted, but are not.
"Sago Palms (Cycas revoluta), one of the
most primitive living seed plants, are very unusual and popular ornamentals. A
rugged trunk, topped with whorled feathery leaves has lead to the common name
"Sago Palm", however it is actually related to conifer and Ginko trees - all
cone bearing plants which trace their origins back to the ancient flora of the
early Mesozoic era. Often called "living fossils", Cycads have changed very
little in the last 200 million years."
