Just around Gawai time the lengke blooms all over Sarawak, especially on the hill slopes drained by fast flowing streams. Wild bananas grow best where the soil is damp.
The lengke has a pretty pink to purple colours. The buds are usually taken out from the flower to be stir fried or just blanched. It makes a good Thai salad.
It can also be cooked in a curry.
