Can anyone inform me as to how long it takes the bananas to start forming once the flower starts opening...i have a purple flower, and as each layer opens, the petal and the yellow parts fall off, i'm new to this ,and from what i understand the bananas come from the part of the stem the petal was attached to..If I am wrong please correct me, I'm anxious to find out if it will produce bananas or not :)

Thanks for your reply... the stalk is covered with the racemes but there are no female flowers coming out of them as in the picture, i took the male portion and rubbed the pollen on the raceme assuming this is how pollination took place, but i have nothing yet, i will try and post a pic...the picture you sent has them formed already and i'm just worried mine isn't goin to produce...i was wondering how quickly the female flowers would emerge, its been a couple of months and there is nothing there :( ....is it too soon?
