Yolanda came in today, very excited, to tell me I had to come see the flower on the elefante! I thought she meant the monster plant with giant leaves that Pasiano brought me a couple of years ago that took over the entire east wall, but it turns out it was this elephant foot palm and that it was an entire stalk of blooms. Yes, it is spectacular. Thanks, Yolanda.  I am so busy getting ready to leave that I would not have noticed. That would have been a shame.
