In cleaning up the mess from the winds I picked up the top of a cut pseudo stem pictured above and found something growing backwards out of the cut. I lifted it up and out came the flower bud, so I decided to have a closer look at it.
It was about a foot long before I started to take it apart.

You can see the leaves and the flower in the middle. If you look real close you can see the little nanners in there.

So I peeled off the leaves until I got to the fruit. Tiny little things! The match is the cardboard book type, not a stick match.

I then peeled some bracts off until it wouldn't peel anymore.

Then I cut it in half and this is what it looked like.

Another shot in the sunshine. Now you know! :)
