Default Secret banana grove

On my commute, I kept swearing I'd seen giant banana trees. Then I'd try to look for them but couldn't find any. Finally today I stopped and walked back through a potato field and found this!

I took more pictures too. Are these orinico? I was quite excited to find them! The area is pine forest, corn field, pines, houses, pines, pines, potato fields, pines, bananas, pines, pines... wait, what?

Well, it's not MY land. Technically I shouldn't have even been on it, but curiosity drove me to trespass. From the look of it, they aren't being tended or harvested, just growing there though!

Look up the land owner and maybe he or she will share if you offer some help. They might not know they are there. Good luck and good growing

The farmland is for sale, so I'll be calling that number to see if I can talk to the landowner. And it's off Hwy 207, between Palatka and St Augustine(near Hastings) Florida.

There was also a GINORMOUS Iris bloom(actually a couple blooms) in a ditch there too.
