Fresh green growth of summer...

Rainy season has started. The positive of this fact is that everything seems more green. I love that!

P.S. Does anyone know the name of the above plant? It seems to be a kind of fern or palm.

It is actually a cycad or そてつ in Japanese. Very old. From the time of dinosaurs and often mistaken for a fern or palm. That is why I made the mistake.  Actually, I think it is specifically this one native to Japan.
