Mr. Obscure



If I want to point out a plant that nobody else has, nobody's heard of, yet is relatively cheap, easy, and everblooming, I need go no further than Pinellia peltata. Its odd little lemony-lime jack in the pulpit-like flowers smell like ripe bananas and look like they are made out of wax. Just call me Mr. Obscure.

This kind of reminds of me looking for the blossom on my wild ginger. ;-) These are still blooming?

Nancy... Thank you... thank you very much! :o)

SK... it's still blooming, but this hot, dry weather will probably polish it off (it goes dormant).

Debbi... it is a neatly odd (or is it oddly neat?) little plant.
