The Rest of the Story for Cee’s FOTD Aug 17, 2023

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.

To read the life story of this giant banana blossom, click on each photo. The photos will enlarge and the story is told in the captions.

On December 7, I discovered this gorgeous bloom hidden behind the palm fronds and giant philodendron leaves in the strip of garden between my house and studio.
In April, I started asking Pasiano if it was time to cut down the branch and hang them upside down to ripen. No, he said, that time
and the next two times I asked.
But finally, yesterday, he said it was time.
My choice of where to hang them was in the gazebo next to the hammocks, where I could be sure to chart their progress.
Already, at least one was ripe beyond the eating stage, but right for banana bread.
Pasiano picked the pick of the litter for us to try.
Guess which one I got?
It was a bit overripe at it’s end, but Morrie and Diego enjoyed it.
Pasiano thought his was perfect!

This flower that this is a small detail of was at least 2 feet long and hanging down from a great height on an even longer stalk. Just gorgeous. I’ll show the entire bloom tomorrow.

See Cee’s daffodils HERE.

When I went down to walk around Audrey’s garden during the party, I spied this spectacular large bloom  Looks like she has a good crop of bananas this year! I know she had bananas in July as well, so there must be more than one crop a year.
