There are two cycads in the rockeries and while they both flush every year, the smaller one flushes at the end of the summer and so the fronds get damaged over winter. The results in them having to be removed come spring. Finally they are both flushing now so there is more chance of the fronds surviving.
They grow at an amazing rate, and have now reached my favourite period for the flush.
The larger one looks amazing in the early evening sun, and the new fronds gleam. A really good flush this year.
They are great at this stage, unclurling and still soft. I want to stroke it every time I walk past.
That is a wonderful moment for them. Nice photos!
