Flowering Colocasia

[charlie]

Petebj from GOTE was in the garden yesterday and he spotted what I had not noticed, that the Colocasia was actually in flower, since I had not noticed it, it is more than possible it has always done it every year, but in case its an unusual event I took some pictures!!

I am given to believe the name of this is Colocasia fontanesii Black Stem, I am guessing that I am the last person to notice that they flower :)

They sneak up on you un-noticed until they turn yellow. Just spotted mine doing the same.
