    Katalina25. Your photo is not a cycad, it's most likely Butia capitata.
    Cycads can vary conciderably in color.

    Nice collection pachyman!

    Cheers, LPN.

    Nope nothing like my one, soz LPN! Yours is a feather Palm. It is indeed a very beautiful tree though...hmm..I may try to get some seed.

    My one was in Tenerife south, the leaves felt like wires...really wirery and very unyielding to the fingers.

    One thing I do know. We were in this villa and there was a lot of seed balls in the smaller garden and they looked just like these:

    I Have asked if the site owner knows my tree name.
