Guess the African Rhinohorn Bunch Size
 
I returned from a week in Alaska to find a bud emerging at about 12-foot height. It's partially obscured in this photo by a short flag leaf:



Guess the correct total number of fingers that form on my African Rhinohorn and win a prize. If no one guesses the correct number then the closest guess wins. If there are two "closest" guesses, then two prizes will be awarded.

The prize will be a 5-lb bag of 20-5-30 Banana Fuel or your choice of banana pup from those I have in nursery stock, including shipping via USPS, which includes most international locations.

Here are the official contest rules (PLEASE READ):

Good luck to all!

This bud was outstanding. It just kept going, and going, and going ... and finally completed in early September. It produced 8 hands of 8 fingers each, shown here:



Now let's see ... 8 x 8 = 64 ... that means our winner is
