Re: musella lasiocarpa
Sam, there will be no doubt when it's really about to flower. Unlike true bananas, you'll start seeing the last few leaves it put out begin to relax and grow more horizontally as the bud begins to emerge and push the last leaves over as the bud swells. Of course, mine bloomed so early, it was just a bare stalk with a bud on top for the most part. It didn't even produce any leaves this spring. Mine has been blooming since very early March. My experience in TX is that it takes about two years to get to blooming size, so it may take yours three. It's hard to say.
