Default Re: Cut them or let them grow a little longer?

I would leave them longer. 6 months is a rule of thumb. Pretty close for Namwah, not even close for Ice Cream. All depends on your climate and when it flowered.

The flower has no relationship to ripeness. Every variety is different. Some varieties will flower for months after the bananas are ripe and picked. Tall Namwah might continue to flower for up to a year.
