Hi folks,
Wanted to post a follow-up from June. I went away for a week and when I got back I noticed the banana had produced a leaf that was half the size of the others. It has since raised a flag leaf thats about 12in long and quite wide at the base, but I cannot see the flower yet.
Here is the flag ready to pop!

Below is the (before) pic from June. Notice the 'pup' to the right-side of the parent plant. When I took this pic the pup was just over 7ft of pstem and the parent was over 10ft.

Here is the (after) pic ready to flower! Notice how much the 'pup' to the right-side has grown since June. The leaves are just at the upper porch roof. It is hard to tell from the camera angle, but the 'pup' is well over 11ft of pstem now. I couldn't get a pic of the parent plant's height, but it is between 14-15ft pstem and the leaves are above the second story roof.
