Fun fact: This ancient plant is a living fossil—it’s a cycad, a group of plants that thrived alongside dinosaurs over 200 million years ago! But here’s the twist: Despite its palm-like appearance, it’s not a palm at all, but a distant relative of pine trees 🌲. It’s the host plant for the rare "Atala butterfly" (Eumaeus atala), whose bright red caterpillars depend entirely on Coontie leaves to survive. The butterfly was once thought extinct until it was rediscovered thanks to ornamental Coontie plantings! 🦋🌿
