New research is being conducted to find out whether consuming #cycad plant-based foods is directly linked to an increased risk of neurological diseases.

Tongaland cycad. The locations of cycads in the wild are kept secret as wealthy collectors will pay handsomely for them. And the poachers inadvertently kill most of the plants they harvest. #cycad #plants #southafrica #africa #nature #wild

After illustrating quite a few ferns, I've now moved on to cycads! Here are some examples of Jurassic cycad morphology. With great thanks to @lepidodendron.bsky.social for his insightful blog post about cycads for #paleoart!

A photo of my little garden project showing several types of large potted plants with a cycad as the star of the show.

Finished my garden project and finally have a nice place to showcase the cycad, my Permian goddess. 💚 Do not insult her by saying "sago palm". She's no upstart NKOTB monocot angiosperm! How very dare you! Her gymnosperm lineage is ancient beyond measure.

Five large, yellow, cylindrical cones in the middle of a palm-like plant in a glasshouse.

The Wood's cycad (Encephalartos woodii) at Longwood Gardens has a hopeful display of strobili right now. Sadly, no females around, or anywhere on the planet as far as we know. #cycad #plants #botany #dioecious

What are cycads? An informational post about our ancient Carboniferous relatives. Several species of cycad can be found in South Africa, though critically endangered. #cycad #plants #southafrica

The Secret Gardens Saving the World’s Rarest Plants In greenhouses from Berkeley to Santa Barbara, a little-known rescue network protects endangered cycads from poachers, smugglers, and extinction.

In my latest piece for @atlasobscura.com, I step inside the world of the illegal plant trade—the fourth largest black market after the ones for humans, drugs and arms. I learned so much working on this piece. #berkeley #plants #blackmarket #botanical #cycad www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pla...

Met the world’s loneliest plant - Encephalartos woodii. One of the few male cycads of its species left in the world, with no known females for a next generation

- Drew out the full form of the tentacle monster I drew in the Margaret confessional piece, a Stardust sketch and the goat demon from La Chiesa unamused by his summoner's demands ❤️

- Synth bug eyed, Cycad becoming the paint brush by covering himself with paint and Gleditsia getting ready to use her claws

- Some more of my dinosaur characters

- My Pokemon soldier characters together - they're in a poly relationship ❤️

Have been working on some more sketches today to get some more art practice in ❤️

Cycads are the main understorey in this beautiful Southeast Australian forest.

Love this forest. #Cycad city.

The invasive Cycad scale insects in Polyground, St Catherine. Please remember to treat your Sago Palm before the scale insects kill it.

Please share your observations or send your questions to @RoostersWorldja.

An archaeopteryx with green head feathers and a purple body is crossing his arms and smirking while a vulture behind him is holding his beak in his wing trying not to laugh - the commission is done in the Zelda CD-I style

My friend @retroboi.bsky.social is offering Zelda CD-I style commissions on their Discord account and have just finished off one of my archaeopteryx Cycad and my sona Scrabber 😆
