The plant is now grown in many tropical locations both for the extravagant ‘flowers’ and for food. In Malaysia, it is called kantan. The peduncles (stems) of the inflorescence are chopped and added to laksa pots (various curries or soups made with rice noodles). The spectacular inflorescence rises from the rhizome to a height of 60 centimeters (24 inches) to more than a meter (40 inches). The individual flowers will appear from between the pinecone-like scales above the waxy bracts. The leaves grow in ranks from separate stalks along the rhizome. The leafy stalks are evergreen and get 4.5 to 6 meters (15 to 20 feet) tall. Etlingera elatior (Torch Ginger or Ginger Flower) is a species of herbaceous perennial plant. Botanical synonyms include Nicolaia elatior and Phaeomeria speciosa. The showy pink flowers are used in decorative arrangements while the flower buds are an important ingredient in the Nonya dish laksa. In North Sumtara, the flower buds are used for a dish called arsik ikan mas (Andaliman Peppercorn Spiced Carps) It is known in Indonesianas “bunga kecombrang ” or “honje”, Malay as bunga kantan and Thai as kaalaa. In Karo, it is known as asam cekala (asam meaning ‘sour’), and the flower buds, but more importantly the ripe seed pods, which are packed with small black seeds, are an essential ingredient of the Karo version of sayur asam, and are particularly suited to cooking fresh fish.” Information Sources: Etlingera eliator / Plant of the Week

A Karo man with an AK-47 – Omo Valley, Southern Ethiopia. Guns are ubiquitous in the remote Omo Valley. The tribal men of the Omo consider weapons to be part of the traditional dress – much like jewelry. I am told that they only shoot eachother.

The Karo People are the smallest of the many tribal groups living in the Omo Valley of Southern Ethiopia. Numbering only about 3000, their continued existence is considered precarious. Karo ladies are famous for their face and body painting.

This Hamar Girl has just made a purchase at the weekly market in Turmi – Omo Valley, Southern Ethiopia. The Hamars are one of a number of tribal groups living in this remote region – 24 hours by road (mainly dirt) from the capital, Addis Ababa.

Guns are ubiquitous in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley. AK-47’s are so common that they’re almost part of the traditional dress – like jewelry. These Karo men, high above the Omo River, are probably not as dangerous as they look. I’ve been told that they only shoot eachother.

There was something special about it, how on the mirrored surface it held singular attention, as a “Star” does on stage! Standing there brilliantly modeling the morning light. I blinked my eyes to reassure that sleepfulness had finished and steathily headed closer to witness what she had done. For this was truly the most eloquent “Styll Lyfe” my wife had ever done! Long since headed off to care for others she had remembered me and left this wonderful essence of her creative passion….she is a true artist and I love her!

The Hamar People are probably the most numerous of the tribal groups living in the remote Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia. The ladies are particularly attractive with their pleated hair and shell jewelry. This young lady was photographed at the weekly market in Turmi.
