Hi guys,

Here is a nice Dioon Mejiae that i rescued/transplanted from the Thornland's, Bali Garden Nursery back in December 2013.

I posted some pics of the flush in Pete's cycad thread, but thought it deserved it's own thread, just to show how tough these cycads can be.

It was going to be bulldozed so i arranged to dig it out by hand and found a new home in my front garden.

It is a female and is about 25 years old.
