 I have no idea what kind of plant this is -- it just showed up at my in-law's house this summer. Overall, it stands almost six feet tall, and the biggest leaves are about 24" across. No flowers or buds. Just big honkin leaves.

I did a lot to this hoping to make it more interesting, but in the end submitted a shot basically out of camera.

Technically, okay (not great), rather boring, I think.

Perfect perspective/angle to show the apparent size of the beanstalk! Gosh I wish the sky were blue that day - it would be spectacular. It's great already, and should finish well towards the top.

Without the title, this one doesn't seem to fit very well. But it's a wonderful image.

Unique. Excellent photo. I would have liked it even better if the sky had a bit more intensity. I'm betting this will be a top 10. I gave 8.

Oh, wonderful! Makes me want to start cliimbing it right away! Very clever, gorgeous POV, and almost the perfect type of plant. Excellent.
