Banana Surprise!

 Once Trish and I got home, one of the first things we did was walk all around the yard to see what had changed since we left six weeks ago.  Our biggest surprise was what we saw with one of our big banana tree clusters.  


First of all, the trees had more than doubled in size almost covering the steps to one of the porches.  In addition to growth, there are several more baby sprouts coming up out of the ground getting ready for next year.


Then the biggest surprise…


In an almost hidden place, one of the plants is in full bloom.  It is great that the bloom is in a very protected place.  This might give it a chance to actually mature instead of succumbing to cold weather as the year goes on.



We will be watching and hoping as the weather cools down.
