Title: Involute vernation
Credit: Photograph Cycad pushing up new leaves by Flickr user kretyen. Description from the Flickr page: "This cycad is in a pot in my front yard. We like it because it stays green all year long--and every bit of green we get in Arizona is welcome. It only adds new growth once a year, during May. These new fronds appeared a week ago. They will now grow several inches a day." Transferred from en.wikipedia; transferred to Commons by User:Innotata using CommonsHelper.
