in July of 2009 I opined that I thought a leaf with a distinct red midrib signaled a flag.
Here is the last leaf prior to a flag leaf on my Ice Cream in 2009:http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=19628&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=19628&si=signal leaf)
While observing my dwarf namwahs today I noticed this red midrib:

The pstem is the right diameter for a bloom. The next leaf is emerging, but its too early to tell if it is a flag. I'll know more next week.
