Here's a new one on me, in TX we're happy if we can get a schefflera to grow 6' tall, here I have several next to the house that are now over the 2nd story roof and I looked out the other day and one is blooming? - who knew. The bloom is probably at least 4' across, it's huge.

It definitely surprised me. I took a couple of pics a few minutes ago with flash and in the morning I'll add them to the page, so check back tomorrow. The poor thing was fighting it's way up through the Jacaranda, so I cut away everything around and above it to give it a chance.

Right now I'm still fighting Telmex and can barely upload so hopefully in the morning it will be better.

Banana plants die after they fruit, it is totally normal, usually another or several other plants come out so you just cut the plant that is dyeing and go on to the next one. Sa,e with


The people in Oaxaca use banana leaves for their tamales as well as the corn husk and so do they in Chiapas.

I had no clue about the banana plants! Thats kinda sad, like sacrificing themselves to make yummy fruit ;)

Tamales here in Yucatan are all made with banana leaves, I think they are more commonly used for cooking in the tropics everywhere. There is one guy here in Merida that makes what are called Mexican tamales and he sells them in the evenings from the street near one of the glorietas. There is always a line of cars waiting to buy them. I go occasionally because it is nice to have something different. I just wish someone sold corundas from Michoacan around here, they are my favorite tamales.

Jonna, what are corundas ?

They are the typical tamales of Michoacan. The ones I loved were sold in front of the church in Patzcuaro and were covered in crema fresca. Light and airy triangles of masa with I think rajas in the dough.
