Pineapple?!?
Just the other day, on my way to lunch, I spotted this thing at the flower shop. I wasn’t sure whether it was a pineapple, or some kind of seed-pod, but I couldn’t resist so I got one. Even the store clerk wasn’t sure what it is, so I’m going to pretend it’s a pineapple. Now I have to think of a name…

That is nether a palm or a pineapple. Often referred to as a palm It is really a member of the cycad family better known as a Sago,

It’s certainly an interesting plant. There are many scattered around the Tokyo area, but they’re enormous while mine has remained petite.

‘just like to clarify, a cycad isn’t a palm…it’s a misnomer. cycads are gymnosperms, while palms are angiosperms; the greatest difference among plants.

This is so fascinating, of all the bizarre things like panty vending machines and lightsaber humping zombies I write about, this post about a potted plant got the most comments.
