My first bloom this year, a Tall Orinoco.

The funny thing is that it thinks it's a dwarf! It only has about 6 feet of pseudostem, and the pups are catching up to it.

I think that it was probably stressed this Spring, due to the cool May we had and whatever other reasons. I was shocked to see the flag leaf though! I definitely was not counting on fruit from this guy. If my other plants bloom that I am counting on, I should get 5 bunches this year!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......... Bananas!
