What a difference a couple of days make

A few days ago I posted a picture of the new growth on the cycad plant in my back garden. Today when I went outside I noticed that there was a big difference.
Now we shall have to cut off all the old leaves so that when these new ones open out and drape down around the trunk they will look all fresh and green and not compete with the insect ravaged old leaves for attention.
These Cycads can be found growing wild among the trees of the forests of New South Wales and I have pictures of them among the natural bush of the north Queensland coast too. So they are very wide spread.
