Default Goldfinger blooms

Hey Ya'll,
I have been out for a bit. Today I went into the backyard and bout passed out. My Goldfinger has produced. This is her second season. I have been able to cut a few pups off the corm. I am SOOO happy I could implode. The weather is starting to turn a bit cooler. The lows here are in the fifties at night. I am not to worried. The highs are still in the eighties. We shall see what happens. Should I be worried? Anyway, I had to share these pics.



This is an early shot. You can really see how the blooms unfold


This is a closeup of the flowers.


This is another side shot. The nanners appear to be unfolding. Cool.


I am really proud of this shot.

Well, the only thing I'd worry about is consistantly cool - cold weather. This could slow the growth down on the entire plant and most importantly the maturation of the fruit. But I think it should be ok and by mid november you could have some decent sized edible fruit.
