Maybe they were meaning the leaves of the flower. Anyway, it is so pretty and I am really enjoying it and now it has fruit. Too cool! I'm so excited.

Oh and Paula, you ask how tall it was. The tip of the leaves are about 13 feet up but they could be a little higher becsue it is bending a tad because of the weight of the flower I guess. Anyway approx. 13 feet.
Yeah they were refering to the underneath side of the leafs, not the flower, which is pretty, but easily confused with other edible banana flowers which are also purple.
