Question Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Possible inflorescence? Stem looks enlarged at bottom.

What do you guys think?

Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?

I don't know the answer to your question, but do you separate the cloves and plant those individually? Garlic sounds pretty cool.
