To create the Cycad garden, the owner of LotusLand, Ganna Walska, sold a million dollars worth of her jewelry. Cycads like the three bachelors pictured above are tropical and sub tropical plants that lived over 250 million years ago, before the dinosaurs. They are no surviving female plants for the three bachelors on the planet today.
Cycads reproduce via seeds contained in a cone. The photo above is a male cycad. Seeds were carried back and forth by specific beetles for reproduction. Today reproduction is done by gardeners.
Cycads are palm like in appearance with a woody trunk. The photo above is of a male cycad, genus "Alexandria Cycad from South Africa." These are all rare species, and there are over 900 species living well in Santa Barbara.
Happy Wednesday,
