Cycad in blossom
2015-05-08

In the central green belt around bus stops along Kangle Road, not a few cycads are in two or three blossoms. One at the northernmost end boasts 23 flowers, 30cm high each. The golden flowers at the center of the tree smell fragrant as the leaves spread out.



According to experts, cycad, or more scientifically Cycas revoluta Thunb, is all green all the year round and one of the most aboriginal seed plants in the earth. It grows slowly and usually blooms after more than ten years. The flowers wither after one month, and it is rare to see a tree with 20-some blossoms.
