Flower Time
Flower time. Not sure the day that the flower popped up - But it was discovered today
Date: 17-MAR-14 Suspected Cultivar: Orinoco PStem Height: 9 1/2ft Circumference of Base: 2 1/2ft Acquired: I acquired this from a local farmer who said "Common South Texas Banana". It shows the same characteristics to that of an Orinoco IMHO. However, I'm no expert. And of course pictures - any feedback on cultivar is appreciated as well I apologize for the pictures, I don't have the better camera ready at the moment. I will get some better pictures if needed. |

Re: Flower Time
Great Pics, Thanks.
Is that a Peach Thevetia Peruviana in the background?

Ok - I'm glad I was on the same track which is good to know. Might Banana recognition skills are sub-par. |

I can better tell you tomorrow during the daylight, I will take a closer picture of it because now you have me very curious. That tree was here when we first moved in and I never paid any attention to it. How is the fruit? |

Re: Flower Time
Nice bloom! Looks like Orinoco to me.

Re: Flower Time
No worries as I never even knew what that tree was. It is indeed the same though. I've always noticed the flowers as that thing blooms pretty much all year. Nothing gained and nothing missed. I just now know it's toxic.
The Orinoco is showing about 4 hands as of yesterday. |
