It’s a cool looking plant, amazing symmetry and very lovely colours.
Late in the day I find out it’s a Papaya plant/tree … In Thai “Ton-Malago”

Note to self: Must eat more papaya~ Thanks for the authenticity in your photos and comments. No hype here!
you are welcome I do my best to be authentic when possible … warm regards DC
Here in Australia we call them Paw Paw (I have one growing in my back garden).
Ah, so I’ve gone from knowing nothing about the plant to having 3 names for it, ah the joys of blogging:)
The fruit tastes lovely and it also makes a really good cream called ‘paw paw cream’. It’s marketed here in Australia and use for everything from nappy rash to chapped lips.
They use it in Thailand to make a spicy Papaya salad, which goes nice with rice 🙂 Hadn’t heard of it’s healing properties before !
Love papayas. Is it the fruit bearing kind? It’s beautiful.
No idea, I only just found out that it’s a Papaya !
Keep watching, so if it grows a fruit you can send me one. Couldn’t bale you out of jail, but would love eating the papaya.
🙂
Beautiful photo.
THanks:) … Only just found out it’s a Papaya after struggling for a title !
🙂
It looks like a papaya.
Thanks Helen … I see them around quite often, they look great and now I know what it is 🙂 Cheers DC
If I do not make a mistake, this may be the Papaya tree!!!
Thanks that man, just checked on Google and it does look like it could easily be a Papaya tree … thank you 🙂 Cheers DC
It looks like it may be a member of the Phylidandrum family but I’m not sure… Is there a Philanthropist in the house? LOL! There are so many plant species, it’s hard to keep up. I like it too tough and wonder if it would grow indoors? Rip it out by the root and test it :O)
Might get in trouble it’s at a religious area … I do see them around and about, so perhaps when I’m a bit more settled myself I’ll try uprooting one … CHeers DC
