The seed which has taken and come back from Myanmar.
(December 16, 2001 Myanmar,Gathered in Pyin Oo Lwin. �j

It budded in about seven months, after planting seeds.

It transplanted four months after and in the greenhouse.

Eight months after.

Six more months after, since the ceiling was reached at last, leaf cutting was repeated reluctantly.

Steady perseverance -- it bloomed at last for two years (it is thought that himself suffered troubles)

A close-up of slight inflorescence is taken.
It is it that the thing of the structure which is different from a leaf for a while is hanging down.

A close-up of a flower is taken further.
It is said that it is called the "skirt banana" in the English area.

If a skirt is peeped into, it looks in this way.

The flower at the time of which the package opened.

After a while, a flower spreads in this way and a thing like honey begins to flow out.
When honey is licked, it is sweet. And the ant was approaching what was given.
