Default Direction of flower head

I have three banana plants shooting their flower heads now. Sweetheart, Dwarf Brazilian and Dwarf Namwah. Their flowers are all hanging to the SSW direction. Is that the norm?

They flower the Direction away from the Mother plant or away from the cut from the mother thus when planting a pup you can orient the plant initially so you know where the fruit is going to go (like not over your fence onto neighbors property).. :^)

You can flip them to the opposite direction if you need to.

I always mark my pots when potting up a pup the opposite side of the cut so I know how to orient the pot before I put it in the ground.. In a pot you can always spin it.. :^)

Thanks for sharing, I had did not know this. I used to just plant or pot them up, but now I will mark the direction and consider this first!
