Sesame plant.

The plant in the picture is a sesame plant. I've always wondered where they come from, or what they grow into. So there ya go.

Known officially as Sesamum indicum, the annual plant reaches heights of 6 feet and sprouts oblong leaves and seed pods. The plant requires a fairly long and warm growing season of four to five months and favors conditions similar to those needed to grow soybeans.

They paved a street out of that plant?

Shocho said...

Yes, good question! Is that street named because it has sesame plants along it? Seems unlikely.
