Very cool. What’s the big purple thing?

[Panamajock]

That’s a bud…lol

Apparently it opens up into i flower .( but I’m not sure…need to ask a local…

I think it’s just a husk hiding the next set of flowers that each become a banana

A friend told me to cut mine down every year but that’s not looking right 🥸

[SCJedi]

That was probably me. Once a banana tree fruits you need to cut it to the ground or it will not produce more bananas.

The flowers grow in the stalk so if your tree has fruited you need to remove everything above ground.

If it HAS NOT fruited yet do not cut it down.

Yessah

I cut the taller of the 3 & it’s anyones guess whether they ever did fruit

Aloha mr. @SCJedi

[SCJedi]

It’ll grow back bigger and better! It just takes a long time. Kind of like waiting for the sun to come out.

I hope you’re staying dry!

[Panamajock]

Oh that’s really interesting… and informative.

Ye I will do that, I got a old guy here who comes once a fortnight to help me with the garden… He be here on Saturday and I’m sure he will advice me you are correct.

Thanks

[Panamajock]

Hola.

So how long do you think it will be till it can be chopped…Ie. Mature?

And do you hang it for a certain time…before you can eat it.

TIA

[SCJedi]

I’m pretty sure once you harvest the fruit it can come down and mature cut banana should ripen like any others

I visited it last Sunday and was blown away with the amount of Orchids a wee tad expensive but incredible plants.

This Monkey orchid blew my mind…incredible.especially as I was pretty stoned on the visit.

Beautiful flower!! Is that a sumac?

[Oldtimerunderground]

@Perro yes it is I love it in fattoush, tastes great.

Here is a pic of one I took a few weeks ago

[Perro]

@Oldtimerunderground

fattoush

Very cool @Oldtimerunderground is that the same tree putting off different looking flowers like that?

I’ve never had fattoush before. I had to look it up. Sounds delish

Also I love sumacs in the fall - INSANE colors on those leaves!!

[Oldtimerunderground]

Thank you I think they’re cool too. If only ditch weed Cannabis could grow buds like them

I think it’s a different kind of sumac cause the yellow flowers all withered away on those ones, but the red ones are coming in nicely.

@Perro

I’ve never had fattoush before

lol, it’s soooo good easy to make too.

I’m big into butterfly gardening, and have had some gorgeous gardens over the years. I love anything that attracts butterflies and has fragrant blooms.

I also like to grow fruit, in fact I used to have an orchard in my backyard! Unfortunately my health has been rather poor, and I have had to put everything on hiatus. (We’re in a severe drought, too, and I lost a lot of my established plants. Couldn’t get out to take care of anything.)

Hopefully some of this will upload properly, I’m having difficulty with the site on my phone. Some Mara des Bois strawberries I grew, plus some tiny alpine strawberries.

Gardening is fun ,) Thanks for sharing. I love seeing peoples garden’s.
