Is it an Alien Plant?


I saw this king sago palm planted in a very large container at the front door of a store at Biltmore Fashion Park Shopping Center.  I've never seen one sprout a cone like that before so it was looking a bit alien to me.  I had to do some Googling to find out what it was.  That is certainly quite a large bloom or cone or whatever it's called.

  3. We had one of those in our yard at the old house but it finally rotted away and it did not have a white cone or whatever. I don't think it's alien, though. Aliens have three eyes - one in the center of the forehead. But you knew that! :)

  5. It certainly looks as if something quite weird could spring from it, Sharon!
