Flowers




Our new house held a nice surprise for us, these cool flowers! They are in the side yard close to the house, so they are tricky to find unless you are looking for them. But when you find them, what a treat!

They grow like bananas, which probably doesn't mean much to you. :-) But like a banana stalk, they start small and tightly packed together. Then they start growing downwards and expand to their full size. I can't figure out how you could pick them and display them, because they are growing from the top down, so we just leave them on their giant stalks (about 10 feet tall with one HUGE leaf at the top) and walk outside and around the corner of the house to enjoy them. Beautiful, aren't they?
