I stopped by a local nursery that has gardens you can walk through (Sea Side Gardens in Carpinteria, CA). I saw this and thought it is way cool. Sorry for the quality of pictures. I used my iPhone.

Awesome find!

This plant is so fabulously pretty, and I want one soooooooo badly! I ran across many images of ensete ventricosum maurelii in the members' gallery--it's love at first sight I tell you. I have no banana plant, and this is the one I want for my first.

A local nursery we buy from here had one flowering in the ground two years ago. I checked with them but they said it didn't set any seeds.

That is beautiful. Is this is the banana that does not pup?

That is correct, it does not pup unless induced by very drastic measures to do so.

Wow...awesome find! I love EM's....they're so beautiful! The flower is gorgeous as well! I wonder how old this plant is. Hopefully I'll get mine to bloom someday....It's got a long way to go before that, though (it's about 3' tall now).
