I just now saw this post, what a latecomer I've been. I'm so happy you all are having good success with my plants, but it's due to your efforts, not mine! I'm just glad they went to such good homes.
Bob that is awesome about your banana bunches!
My big ice cream had put out another flag leaf, but it blew over in a windstorm the other day. Guess which stem broke off at the base? We chopped it open with the knife, there was the bloom, right at the top
That is three years in a row that at least one stem in that "mat in a pot" has bloomed, or was going to
2011 the ill fated one, there are two more large ones still in the pot left though and a small pup.
2010 fall, 1 stem, 2010 mid winter 1 stem
2009 1 stem
