Cycad
2009-09-18
Like yesterday, I didn't get the species of this plant, but it's some sort of Cycad, which are holdovers from dinosaur times. "Living fossils" came up on several search hits. At least I think that's what it is.
This is a close up of the cone-type thing, which on this plant is fuzzy and kind of looks like overlapping hands that have lots of fingers. I'd like to try reshooting with the SLR sometime, it's a cool subject.
Tomorrow we're going to Disneyland! I'd say it's a pretty sure thing my daily photo will be from there, stay tuned...
