Honking big ear of corn or bananas happening?
 
I have looked at many, many pictures of flag leaves since joining here nearly 3 years ago but never seen one on any of my girls. Did I miss it? The leaf this gal produced last week did seem a little odd and puny but wasn't memorable; plants tend to do odd things when they live with me so I figured that was just standard. However, minutes ago I walked past her and noticed something odd. (A confirmed "watched pot" believer, I try not to stare at or study plants that might take offense or stop doing what they should.)

This "leaf" is very hard and firm--from the base to the tip. Yes, we soon have no bananas? Or not? Having raised corn, it reminds me how smut starts. Musas don't have smut, do they?

Congrats, What you see is your very first flag leaf and flower poking out. Great time of the year for it to come out too.

Stare at it as much as you want. It IS a flag leaf. Congratulations.
