Its time to play ... Guess the bunch size (number of fruit fingers) !!

Guess the correct total number of fingers that form on my Dwarf Orinoco and win a prize. If no one guesses the correct number then the closest guess wins. If there are two "closest" guesses, then two prizes will be awarded.

The prize will be a 5-lb bag of 20-5-30 Banana Fuel including shipping via USPS (http://www.usps.com/), which includes most international locations.

Here are the official contest rules (PLEASE READ):

Here is a picture of the bud on 6/6/2011:
