Re: I either have a flag on my
Those last flowers are looking male to me. Pretty soon you'll have to decide whether or not to cut off the bud.

Re: I either have a flag on my
Yeah, the smaller looking fruit are probably male flowers that won't develop into fruit. Looks great so far, though!

Re: I either have a flag on my
Ok and thanks all again for the advice and encouragement. I'm convinced now after some reading that these are indeed just male flowers coming out on the last 2 groups that opened(including one that opened last night).Now I can clearly see the difference so my official total is down to 31 fingers. I'll probably give it a few days to elongate more before I cut it off and will take some more pictures .......
Anyone have a good recipe for the bud? I have one in mind thats a coconut based soup from Sri Lanka (google) but am open to suggestions. |

Re: I either have a flag on my
I'm cutting my flower off today. How big are the nanas on that first hand? Could you take a pic w/ maybe a ruler alongside?

Don't let Patty fool you into sizing up your naner, Bob!

Re: I either have a flag on my
Good one, Bryan!
Is there even a ruler out there though, capable of measuring something so... nevermind! Sure hope you'll post another shot of your fruits today, Bob... : ) |

Patty and HBL........ You girls are all alike,.... this has never happened to me so......... ........I'm feeling kind of gun shy......

"Is that an optical illusion?" "It's a good thing you have so many other talents".......etc. etc!!!! Seriously they're still pretty small but I will take a pic with a ruler or something for scale soon and then keep documenting it's progress........right after I water it for an hour and pray! |

Re: I either have a flag on my
Anyone who knows me well (or even at all) knows that I only need half an opportunity to insert inappropriate comments.

Bob, that's just too funny!
Bryan, (with a "y" of course)... I enjoy your "inappropriate" comments and get a chuckle out of your posts. : ) |

Re: I either have a flag on my
I dunno, I kinda have to bite my tongue sometimes because I realize some members here are easily offended.....but it's hard for me to completely refrain from comments (especially if given such good set-ups! ). Just hope everyone realizes it's all in good fun!

Re: I either have a flag on my
OK you clowns! Yeah, I'll show you mine if you show me yours LOL.
I don't know what the ave size is of IC. Mine have been growing very slow it seems. The biggest are about 3 1/2 inches now. I have A SMaller plant so I'm sure my nanas will be smaller than yours Bob.

Re: I either have a flag on my
Thanks Mitchel, I responded in your post. I decided to wait a bit to let the stem elongate to allow for dessication so I'll wait and be trying this recipe for sure.

Re: I either have a flag on my
Wow, things are sure looking good, Bob. Didn't know yours would be that sizey!
Let us know how that recipe turns out for you. Being the Gourmet Chef that you are, I'm sure it'll be amazing, no doubt. Do we have to wait another 6 days before you'll post another shot of your bananas? Now that we've all seen your measurements, you shouldn't leave us hanging! Can't wait to see them again... : ) |
