Look in my photo gallery:Bananas and Fruit 2010 pg. 3 I'm still growing this mat because it is an excellent banana.

Here's a current picture for you of a ripening bunch
I'm not an expert yet but I think the other photo shows some transitional flowers. The current photo doesn't show persistent male flowers. In regard to finger length, it was the first bunch from the mat and did most of its ripening through the dry season. I would think that this might have something to do with the length. The next bunch should have bigger fingers.
The plant should be legit. I got it from a respected forum member from the other coast of Florida. However if it is a mixup please let me know what it could be.
I'm not sure what to say about the taste. For my reports I try to describe every flavor no matter how minute. I try to approach it like a coffee or wine review. Two people could be having the same actual eating experience, yet describe it differently. If anything my descriptions overemphasize the notes of flavor, but this is normal for other taste reviews like the aforementioned coffee and wine.
