Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Lasia spinosa, 3 by tropicbreeze

My Lasia spinosa is flowering again. As summer finishes it starts to produce flowers right through to the start of summer again. The flower (inflorescence really, as with aroids generally) is quite unusual. The spathe is very long, slender and twisted. The plant still has fruit/berries from last season that never seem to want to ripen. You can see from the photo of the fruit where it gets its name "spinosa" from.
