The 'fruit' is about the size of a banana, it was shot in balbao park, San Diego apparently.

And we all know what it looks like!

It looks like a philodendron to me.
If I have a chance I'll try and track down some clearer info.

And we all know what it looks like! It's corn on the cob. You need to adjust your monitor's color settings!

Cor. We used to have one of those growing outside my bedroom door when I was a kid. It never flowered, though. Nice to see :)

The delicious monster has fruit that sprouts up on separate stalks from ground level.
The plant benguin has a photo of has the fruit emerging from the top of the leaf, more like an anthurium, but without the coloured, waxy leaf.
