We had temps near the 80's for about a week in early February, and this caused a lot of the bananas to push out flowers! Right now, there's a total of 10 bunches from 5 different varieties. It's hard to say how many of those bunches will fail though, we'll see. Rajapuri is now pushing out the biggest inflorescence in the collection so far. Our weather is borderline for growing bananas; however, this unusually dry and mild winter has proven to be a boon for them. In the past few days, it's now getting back to near freezing, so we'll see if these make it. Photos taken 2/9/18:
