Joy April flower 🍌 🌼

Well it has been a VERY long time since I've been on, not sure how active the forum is anymore. It is now flowering time for me here in Charlotte NC. I took this photo today about an hour ago.

Good to see bananas flowering this time of year in North Carolina. Mine usually are mid to later summer. Do you know the variety? Keep up the good work!

Yeah. This type is a tall namwah. I dug them up the end of last November, overwintered them indoors, and then put them out over a month ago. So that has helped keep the process going. I will post more pictures in a few days. What part of NC are you in?
