Surprise, Surprise
After last winter, I was not expecting any of my bananas to bloom this yr, but I was sitting in my yard this morning and noticed this banana that just started this spring had a huge bloom with over 80 naners already.
Here is a picture of it this past spring: I will try to get a new picture soon. |

Re: Surprise, Surprise
Yeah the Raja Puri I have is getting close in size to flowering, I hope it hold off till next year. I was able to take four pups this year from it though.
The winter was so bad here last year that I don't have any flowers. I sure hope we have a mild winter this year though. bo |
