While reversing out of my designated parking spot on the lawn, I saw the biggest kick ass bud near the side gate. It's so freaking huge that it looked like it can give birth to a bunch of bananas. The only thing that can be bigger than this is the smelly Rafflesia.
Me: Uncle, the man eating plant outside our side gate is flowering. Should I be concerned and park further away?
Uncle: What man eating plant? You mean the banksia?
After we got over the joke, he became excited that the plant is flowering, I suspect he might have forgotten it. I confirmed he has forgotten about it cause when I googled Banksia, it showed it something like a bottle brush and this looks like jantung pisang.
Anyway a few days later, uncle excitedly told me, it has bloomed. I had to climbed a chair to take a good picture of it. It is truly magnificent, worth the risk of bodily injury and possibly my life should this be a real man eating plant.
You can put a barbie doll in there and play Thumbelina or possibly a boutique mini chi hua hua. Nature is amazing. Seems a waste to grow something so magnificent on the side gate, unless it is a man eating plant, in which case it makes perfect sense.
My car will be safe parked near it.
