AKA 'Thai Gold', although it isn't a true cultivar.

I've been growing this banana in a large pot for three years now and I finally got one of the pstems to bloom! I noticed it over the weekend but haven't had time to to take a picture yet. I'll try to get one posted soon. That makes a total of three ornamental and three edibles to bloom for me this year.

I acquired a Thai banana recently, Kluai Khai...check out this page:
