This has nothing to do with the 4th of July or anything else of substance.

But…we recently watched an episode of Antiques Roadshow that featured what was described as a French tapestry done just after WWII.

The appraiser referred to “kind of bamboo-looking motifs through the tapestry.”

Yes, the background pattern appears to be bamboo, but those dominant white leaves certainly look like Monstera, don’t you think? They don’t look anything like bamboo leaves.

I took this photo of the monstera growing off our front deck. It appears to be a pretty good match.

What do you think?
