If you've seen aHUGE banana plant pic here, please read...
 

Saw a pic of a HUGE banana plant in front of a ?blue house. The plant was on the side, taken from far away -as one could see the whole side of house and plant. The plant was taller than the apex of the house. Been TRYING to find it; going back & looking in my history pages to -to no avail.
Does anyone have an idea where to look?

Holy Moly Cow... that's a big'un... but, no, this plant was right in front of the side of the house
House was dark blue/grey I'm thinking. You could see the whole house side, plant and sky behind- was taken a good distance so as to show the enormous size of the plant.
But... thank you!! bunches!

Wow.. some big B plants. Am able to show my better half what I mean (but darn, still not the one in front of the side of a blue/grey house) :-(
But, GREAT pics to help get my point across.
THANKS!

Rmplmnz's Saba pic is pretty epic:

I think that pic might be one that Abnshrek posted. I think the banana was a tall Orinoco, and I think it was against a side of the house with a wooden outdoor staircase going up behind the banana to the 2nd floor/'attic landing' of the house. I think the house was blue.

Abnshrek, am I remembering that right? Does that ring a bell?

Well I'll be... that "Rmplmnz's Saba" pic illustrates what I was trying to tell my other half even better than the house pic I was looking for... although .... I laughed when I saw the blue house pic posted because it totally fits my description... yet isn't the one (say the above house pic is taken at ? maybe 5-5:30 of the apex... the one I was looking for would be more like 7-7:30 and double or so the distance).
REGARDLESS, my better half can now see how big some of these puppies get!
For that, thank you BOTH bunches!

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. Talk about some happy Namwahs!

Turns out it wasn't the pic Lawler was looking for, but it's still a great pic. Thanks for re-posting it. :bananas_b

Well one more try.. :^)

This doesn't even look real! (it's not 'shopped, is it?)

I can only imagine the reaction from the better half when I try to bring this one in the house over the winter...

Yes its real, but is technically an ensete and not a banana (musa). They do eventually produce little seeded bananas though, but dont naturally produce pups like musa.

When someone says "huge banana photo", I always think of this one.

Thanks Richard!

That banana patch was epic....I prepped the soil with 1,000 pounds of shrimp shells I got (for free) from a local shrimp processing plant (fights nematodes) and a 1,000 pounds of horse poo (for free from a local stable)..and then the rains came....8 hurricanes in 4 years...

The pseudostems were over five feet in circumference....

I later planted a Red Iholene in the same area that grew over 20 feet...Don & Katie Chafin, Going Bananas still have pictures I gave them that they display in a little book at plant shows/sales...
