I was making a mad dash for my train at St Pancs when this stopped me in my tracks long enough to snap it, wonder at the magic of nature and dash off. I suspect it is some sort of Banana Plant, but I have no idea. It was a marvel to look at. If I had time I would have stopped and gone into the flower shop and asked all sorts of questions! But…the train doesn’t wait for curious passengers, it just cracks on. And so did I.
A camera travels 
Beautiful street photography. Good day Nonoy Manga
Thank you for your kind words! Enjoy the day! It’s great outside with loads of sunshine here!
i will try and go there today and ask any questions i can to gauge what this AMAZING plant is 🙂
its super cool 🙂
thankyou for sharing keep smiling
It’s already sold! I have since found out, it is indeed a banna plant! Amazing!!!
It’s sold already! Think an African violet is a better choice! 😉
most odd: where could you grow one in UK?! You’d need a huge glass house!
It was massive! I had to stand back to get it all in the photo frame. I can’t imagine the house that it could fit into. It was prices at 179.00. Think I’ll pick up an African Violet instead! 😉
Puts me in mind of Audrey, Too. I’m glad perspective forced you to keep a distance. That’s a photog-eater if I ever saw one!
Isn’t it the oddest thing ever? I thought it was fake, florist art of some sort, but no, that’s the real thing. 😉
I just love St. Pancras, and this let me visit it again for a few minutes. I’ve never seen such a plant. At present, it is sprouting an old fashioned Christmas light. 🙂
It does look like a rather large christmas light! I wish I could have seen the flower open. I love St. Pancs..odd…but it’s great to meet for lunch there.
Susan, the colours, size and shape tell me this is a plant not of this world. Yet, it’s a banana plant. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a banana plant before – do they all look like that? I mean, could you imagine a whole forest or plantation of them… that really would fire the imagination!
Great photo!
It is mind boggling isn’t it? I hope someone see the photo and says very officially..that is the species of banana found only in Tailand on the third day of the fourth volcanic erruption! It is just stunning! The size of the flower defies defination! iphones take amazing photos! 😉

That is pretty strange! Space age! I’m watching Avatar right now and it would not look out of place there!
Hi Kate, it does look like something off the set of Avatar! It just stopped me dead in my tracks! And I was running late! 😉
