What's in a name like monstera. This term is used quite a bit when giving a plant
it's newly assigned botanical name. Most times it's a reference to certain obvious
characteristic features, fitting for this family of plants, in this case, a bromeliad.
This bromeliad is given this descriptor for many obvious reasons.
Here are some photos of it's late stage if life of throwing up a fluorescence. Some would
say, huh? You mean flower? Yes, but in this family of plants they are known as fluorescence.
So here you are, a bromeliad with it's characteristic monstrous base, fluorescence height,
but but but, not the actual fluorescence it's self.
Exhibit A - Monstrous Base
Note the length of the fluorescence at about half it's soon to be it's note worthy
monstrous length. Looking down, with it's base, but a blur...hehe.
Exhibit B - Monstrous Fluorescence
Taller than me and I'm six foot tall, well used to be, time and gravity had it's way.
And then there is this...
the actual fluorescence, the none monstera part of this other wise beauty.
Hey, being a sculptor, ya ya, a shameless plug, having one, let a lone two really viewable
aspects is a win win. So there you have it.
A Monstera beauty.
