B&W Photocontest: Plants - Hearts
Hello again, Steemit friends! This is my 2nd entry for this week's B&W photo contest hosted by @daveks. This contest is made possible with the continuing support of @papa-pepper, who also serves as the judge for this week.
This photo was taken when I did my trekking at Mt. Tabayoc, in Kabayan, Benguet. Mt. Tabayoc is hard to trek because its montane mossy forest receives rainfall virtually all throughout the year. As a result, its trails are moist most of the time and slippery. You'll find many plant life that is unique in tropical regions; many flora and fauna species within Mt. Tabayoc's montane forest are endemic in the Southeast Asian region, if not within the Philippines. As a testament to that, here is a plant with heart-shaped leaves, I spotted this plant when me and my companions barely started our trek. I am not sure about its identification, but I suspect it belongs to the Aroid plant family, or another family related to it. Just like my previous entry, this photo was taken using my Nikon D3100.
Hope you like this entry. Watch out for my incoming 3rd entry. :>

This is a plant that has a lot of love, because it has a heart shape. I have some at home that also has a heart shape. They are tubers. It is called Ocumo, it is like bread, when cooking the root..
Ocumo is a close relative of Taro, which is more common here in Asia. It's also edible. Based from wikipedia, they both belong to the family Araceae.
I think this plant belongs to Araceae too, but the venation and leaf sheath structure is different than both Ocumo and Taro. So it's likely a close relative of both. Heart plants! 💖
