In Kirstenbosch gardens, in the shadow of Table Mountain, there are many beautiful native South African cycads - archaic plants from the age of the dinosaurs. This one has dried seed cones. Sadly, about 2 years ago, criminals drove into the gardens, with heavy digging machinery, and stole many, including an ancient tall cycad from Kwa Zulu-Natal; it was the last of its species. Now where is it?
