Ornata is 40 inches tall
Cavendish is 48 inches tall
I live in Connecticut, zone 6, I have rich, composted, well drained soil and the bananas have soil burmed up around them to form a pool so I can water daily, unless it rains.
I have been trying to find out info on the web, with no success, as to whether I can expect flowering this summer, so I thought some of you would have experience with these.- Anyone know?

Welcome to the club, you bananas sure look happy. If you bring them indoors this winter and keep them happy you may see a flag leaf by this time next year. Please remember that you need a much longer growing season to get your bananas to flower. I would say you will probably be waiting until year 3, but stranger things have happened.
