Sago Palm Cycad Colouring Page

This plant is commonly called a sago palm, but it is really an ancient cycad. Its short rough trunk holds a neat rosette of stiff feather-like leaves, with a large reproductive cone and round seeds shown nearby instead of true flowers or palm fruit. A small butterfly rests safely on a leaf. Colour the leaves deep green, the trunk warm brown and the cone golden tan. The seeds can be orange-red, but remember that real sago palm parts are poisonous and should never be tasted or handled without an adult. Use soft greens for the garden background and take time colouring the repeating leaflets from the centre outward.
