Lighting A Leaf; Leaving A Light

September 1, 2008

A small light on the ground illuminates the leaf of a wild yam or scientifically known as Alocasia macrorrhiza.

This species of yam or known as “Taro” among the Hawaiians is not edible but you can use the leaves to wrap food or as “umbrella” during rain… under my umbrella, ella ella eh eh eh!

On a serious note, you’ve got to be careful not to come in contact with the sap or latex as your skin can get real itchy due to the sap’s chemical content. If that happens, you won’t be having fun singing under the umbrella no more…
