I bought a cycad 4 weeks ago, on our fateful Ikea trip. I thought, 'Hmmm... Cycad's are hardy, and it'll do just fine in the bathroom.'
It's done more than just 'fine'. It's taking over.
The new shoot was about 20cm long four weeks ago. Now it's growing at a rate of about 1cm a day. It's gone berserk...
It's starting to worry me somewhat. MrB thinks it's all very normal, and merely comments that it must like the sunny position it's in... I walk out of the room, throwing uncertain looks over my shoulder. I'm concerned that I'm going to wake up one night to find the Cycad waving it's spikey fronds at me in a threatening manner.
I'm going to re-read 'The Day of the Triffids'.
And if there are any convenient meteor showers in the near future, you can be sure the family B will be staying inside. I like my eyesight, thank you very much. I ain't going to be no-one's seeing-eye sex slave. No Sirree!
Or... maybe...
It's Ikea's final grab at World Domination.
Death by Cycad!!!!!!

OMG what a freak frond I think that it may try to strangle you when you are next reaching for a towel.
You need to spray that sucker with salt water
ROFL!
Just remember how the Triffids were defeated, which escapes me for the moment.
creepy. be concerned if it starts to spawn...
It's getting bigger BTW...
and John, the Triffids weren't defeated, that's the point... the end of the book they just drive off into the sunset, hoping for the best... This doesn't bode well...
