Mine's flushing now FF. I'm just taking a pic every couple of days and then do a slideshow from start to finish.

Re: How long does a cycas revoluta flush take?
depends on temperature, so longer this year than most. Average is about 6 weeks from start to fully hardened fronds, a month for full grown fronds
Best regards

They can flush late if the weather suddenly warms up, and is fooled into thinking it is summer. Mine flush every other year, and is normally commences around the end on June. One of the heads on my 'twin head' is starting just now
Best regards

Great minds think alike.
How you been working on any other timelapse recently?
Re: How long does a cycas revoluta flush take?
couple on the go here and there, nothing worth sharing at the moment. using my slr for one today (lily opening) but i'd rather not as they can only take a finite number of images before they die. all my other camera options are non HD at the mo thoYorkshire Kris wrote:fieldfest wrote:my little one is starting to flush, wondering how long it takes to do, you know I love a good timelapse but dont want to be filming it for several monthsthanks
