Hi friends,
My sikkiimensis is just to bloom. It is my first experience to have the bloom of
this banana. I have always been thinking how it would be and now it is just
in front of me! The flower is the biggest and most vigorous I ever seen, and
the deep reddish purple flower is beautiful too.
The baby bananas are also largest of all ever seen, and I do look forward to
how big they will be. It is enough even if it is not EDIBLE.

Congratulations Stan!

You should try the fruit anyway if it develops, the little pulp there is tastes almost like watermelon. But the seeds are hard, so please be careful!

Good job!
