Description
This is the crown of a Sago palm, in Veterans Park, Delray Beach, Florida. In the center is the female reproductive structure (thanks to Wikipedia). This very symmetrical plant supports a crown of shiny, dark green leaves on a thick shaggy trunk that is typically about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. It can grow to about 20 feet (6–7 meters) tall but that takes 50 to 100 years. This one was about 7 feet (2.1) meters tall and this was an over my head blind shot while standing on a park bench. The Cycad Sago Palm is extremely poisonous to animals (this includes humans) if ingested. Some info from Wikipedia.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Heh, I was wondering how you got that shot lol.
A fine photograph of this long-living and wonderful plant.Good for viewing,but not stewing.
I've never had a hankering to get a Sago Palm...they seem to have so many problems. Nice shot of this attractive and very healthy one.
Oh, so that's what they call this species! I have some shots of this type of plant, captured at a lower POV, lingering in my files. Anyway, stellar clarity, composition, depth and repetitive patterns in this overhead pic, Dana.
~Terrific capture and info!~
A superb capture from your vantage point on a bench. It has a beautiful center point and it reminds me a bit like a fractal.
Excellent POV and capture Dana! :)
