Is this a flag?

Taylor · 08-19-2007, 10:41 AM

On my Royal Purple. I am pretty sure it is a flag, but not certain.

Sure looks like a flag leaf! You'll know for sure in a week or so.

Taylor · 08-19-2007, 12:40 PM

I can't wait! Thanks for the confirmation.

Gabe15 · 08-19-2007, 03:44 PM

what type of banana is it?

Taylor · 08-19-2007, 05:45 PM

Musa Ornata 'Royal Purple'

Gabe15 · 08-19-2007, 05:55 PM

yep, then thats most certainly a flag.

Taylor · 08-19-2007, 06:08 PM

This is awesome. First year too, growth all the way from corm. Its funny because I have other Bananas at blooming height and I didn't even look for a flag on this one. And so far it is the only one that is going to bloom. I'm still hoping for an edible though!

natedogg1026 · 08-19-2007, 09:36 PM

So You get a flag just before a flower? Never had any bloom before but maybe before the frost! I hope. :2201:

Taylor · 08-19-2007, 09:45 PM

Yep, Flag, then Bloom, Then Female flowers (if edible, these are the nannas), then the Male flowers.

natedogg1026 · 08-19-2007, 10:09 PM

Thanx Taylor!

Steve L · 08-20-2007, 08:03 AM

Taylor · 08-20-2007, 09:32 AM

Will a picture a day do?
haha

Also, I told Steve this and probably the rest of ya, it died back to the corm so I ignorantly put it in the compost where it came up. Then I potted it back up this spring. Let it get some size and then planted it in the ground. Fast grower. I need to go take an update picture.

Oh an BTW,
We had a HUGE storm and I am not exaggerating last night. 3 Bolts of lightning hit 2 trees in our block, it might be time to go look for those too.

Just saying I wouldnt be surprised if some trees were on the ground.
