I understand, and don't misunderstand me - flowering it is not my main goal. I have been growing this plant well for over a year now, and I'm very happy with the result. It would be such a shame to go to all that work and then not let it flower. If I had room, I'd let it grow this winter inside. I could try a not very ideal place that has more room, but I don't want to saccrifice the health of the plant. I wish I had a greenhouse! Or, if there are any bananas that don't get as tall as the 'dwarfs' (8' is not really dwarf for me). I did get a pup from a friend of what looks like a mini banana. I didn't see the mother plant, but from the looks of this pup, it might be something like Truly Tiny. I'll see how that one works out.
