Rosedown Mill also have some strange prehistoric plants called
cycads and I bought a selection of those for indoors. They grow really
slowly too and I was a little aghast to find that one or two of those
grow to quite a size. It'll take them years though.


Kew Gardens has what they say is the oldest Pot Plant in the world in their
Palm House and it's a Cycad and it's big, very big. First potted up in the
1700s I do believe. :-)
