venturabananas

I never could get more photos of the progression of the inflorescence and specifically the male flowers because my neighbor cut off the bud after it stopped making female flowers.

That said, I am now certain that my neighbor's bananas are a Pisang Awak cultivar because they tasted identical to the dwarf Namwah fruits that Tony sent me. I need to talk to my neighbor more about how she feeds her banana plants because boy does she get the fruits big and plump -- so much so that it almost disguises the bottle nose of fruit unless you look carefully.
