Ever Tried Banana Nectar?

I was attempting to cross-pollinate a couple of bananas, and got a taste of some musa basjoo nectar. It is really tasty! I found myself licking my fingers after I was done! I know some use the flowers in a salad, and now I know why.:2216:

I've read that hummingbirds love nanner flowers. I'm considering banana nectar wine if I have enough flowering! Hey - JoeReal may know something of that! :)

Be well,
Mike

I tasted the nectar from my Apples and it was very sweet! I get lots of hummingbirds feeding from the flowers which is a large part of the reason I decided to leave the flower buds hanging instead of cutting them in favor of larger fruit. :2214:

:goteam: I've noticed Hummingbirds, Bees, Wasps, and Ants, enjoying the Orinoco nectar here. This year I'm going to sample some as well!
