Wow. Cool plant and great shot.

Artist Reply: Thank you, Jimmy :)

Artist Reply: This is part of what Wikipedia has to say about it: "The scientific name honours Captain William Bligh who took the fruit from Jamaica to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, England in 1793 and introduced it to science. The common name is derived from the West African Akye fufo. The term ackee originated from the Akan language.[6] The fruit was imported to Jamaica from West Africa (probably on a slave ship) before 1778.[7] Since then it has become a major feature of various Caribbean cuisines, and is also cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas elsewhere around the world."
