Teresa's bananas from her tree

Can ya spell banana?





These are some pics of the blooms from my assistants banana tree. She is the one that gave me my tree. I have had such fun watching it grow this year. Hers actually had some bananas. She brought them in to show the children when she cut them down. Our weather does not allow them to mature unless the bloom sets fairly early in the summer. I had been hoping I would get lucky and get some bananas. No such luck, but maybe next year. When the big purple bloom opens up each layer, the small row of blooms will become bananas. It was very interesting to see.
