Here is the state of the banana cluster for Cee’s FOTD. The flower was already shown HERE.
as a “What flower is this?” post. Two folks guessed immediately. Guess there are more banana growers in the world than simply me! The bananas are presently just 5 inches long. The red part of the flower is 10 inches. I think the fluffy part at the top of the flower is actually little aborted bananas. Is that as much as you wanted to hear about bananas today? I’m fascinated, looking forward to another crop as there wasn’t one last year and bananas mean banana bread. And calories. Hmmm.

Sorry I missed our previous post of the flower! Could the fluffy part on the flower just be some smaller banana buds? In any case, you’ll have lots of baking to do!

Yes..but they are all dried up…they won’t become bananas now.

Ah, yes — they need lots of water to develop into nice sweet bananas!

Those bananas look a little too green for me to eat. I’ll let them ripen a bit yet 😀
