What plant/fruit is this? Large elephant-ear thing
 
I think it may be a "Monsteria" ??? It was here when I bought this house a
year ago and was already quite large at that time

Here's a photo of the whole thing:

Its a pretty ordinary photo taken at night so you cant see much but should
be able to see enough to ID it if you know it

And here's a closeup of what I thought may have been its fruit, but one has
opened to reveal itself as a flower:

So does anybody know what it is or if it fruits ???
Cheers

g'day dave,

if it bares fruit it is the 'monseterio deliciousa' or fruit salad
plant.

if it doesn't bare fruit then it is a common old philodenron.

I'll agree with that.
It has a different leaf to what I remember as a Monsteria.
