I was looking through a folder of pictures on my computer when I came across the flower pictures below, which I took in 2011. This fabulous plant was located in our very own backyard in Musoma. I was fascinated by how the flower grew downwards and spread out as it matured, starting at the top and moving downwards over time. It was about 18 inches long (.5 meter) when fully in bloom. Isn't it beautiful? A friend (who used to live in this house) called it an ornamental banana plant, I believe. The leaves certainly resemble the leaves of a banana plant. They grew to be about 10-12 feet tall - our own tropical jungle!
