MONSTERA DELICIOSA

This clump of Swiss Cheese Plant from the Araceae Family is so beautiful. Yes, there is no mistake in the most common name of this aroid and the name is derived from its split leaves and natural holes in the leaves. Other common names include Split-Leaf Philodendron, Fruit Salad Plant, Monster Fruit etc.

This particular plant was flowering as shown in the 3rd photo and a link is attached below:
