Dear Friend,
Some time in 1982,while at Pachmarhi,I collected few eyes of Cycas from a mature plant at Bhabatit Dhyan Kendra( opposite Bedi Bungloww).5 of the plants travelled with me to different places.One was given to Brig Rajbir Singh.I am sure it is still with him.It is a treat to see bud of a Cycas unfolding.I am fortunate to see this phenomenon each year.2 of the plants have got place in our home.Attaching an image of the bud of this plant.Wish you happiness.
Regards

This is sago Palm, some classify it as King sago...

in southern california its very popular front yard plant... gives
architectural focal points to the tiny water starved landscapes
something green year round...

In this photo the central bunch of spikes is a collection of a round/
ring of young leaves... which ultimately unfurl and when mature and
die off will add 2 to 3 inches to the height of the plant....

Below it the light brown "leaves " with an occasional red peaking out
is the female ovary and fruits... (red ) ones are fruits/seeds
inside.... young children sometimes eat them to their peril... its
toxic ...

FINAL diagnosis ... King Sago Palm, female... Botanical binomial:
Cycas revoluta

(( NOT CYCAD as in above messages) ... although it belongs to
Family: Cycadaceae but Genus is Cycas..
