Re: Is it possible?!
The number of leaves until flowering is irrelevant, each variety will act differently in different environments, it is not possible to say that in general bananas will flower within range of number of leaves.
If you grew a certain variety in the same conditions and had it flower multiple times and counted the leaves until flowering, you would probably be able to come up with an average and be able to predict after how many leaves that variety would flower in those conditions, but this number should be considered non-transferable to all other varieties and situations.
As to your question, 10 months of active growth sounds pretty normal for a banana to flower.
