okay, second inflorescence of this unknown Musa is blooming and to recap, it's the same exact clone as unknown#1 (photo-documented in this thread). Flower color is exactly the same as the first one. Photos taken 7/31/16 and 8/1/16:
Close up of female flowers the day they opened:
"top view" of the female flowers:
just opened flowers, the stem where they are attached to the rachis:
flower pics at night:
Notice the color of the flowers on the very first hand that opened, they're much whiter compared to the just opened flowers. Not the best pic to illustrate this point, but the best I have:
Here's some hands from the older inflorescence, it's been cold again so they're taking their sweet time:
Last but not least, one of the more important pictures: clean rachis, hermaphordite flowers and their bracts continue to fall off shortly after opening, I think 12 or 13 sets of these flowers have fallen off so far:
Also note: the second ratoon is significantly taller, one of the pups is near 10' tall and hasn't yet shown any signs of flowering. Anyone who has grown manzano (not brazilian): do you see any characteristics that would suggest this isn't manzano?
