Cocoon!

I was spying on my banana trees and saw the big flower. It looks like a huge cocoon! Little baby bananas are inside those petals waiting to grow and be eaten by me! Ha!

Or maybe I found an alien cocoon and soon an alien baby will be hunting down humans near my house! Don't worry, I will teach him manners. He will say "Excuse me ma'am, I'm gonna eat you. Sorry for the terrible pain I will give you and thank you for being my dinner!"... See? A well mannered alien!

Beautiful. Do you get to eat bananas off the plant reliably? Mine never succeed, there is always that last minute freeze that gets them.

Yes! Before hurricanes Irma and Maria last year I had bananas the entire year. One banana tree can give you 2-8 "banana seeds" so you can keep planting them and have always bananas. This are the first ones after the hurricanes and just because our weather is crazy they grow really quick 😀

That's awesome. We go through a ridiculous amount of bananas in this house :)

This is beautiful and the texture is amazing too!

Thanks! Some people eat that cocoon... maybe one day I will try

LOL, that was cute. Peekaboooo!

Do you wanna be the godmother of my baby alien? Ha!

Look at you being healthy and thinking about bananas and not ham or anything else.

I eat healthy! ... just eat too much desserts 😅

hahaha! howdy blacklux! that's too funny...thank you for teaching those aliens some manners! lol.
So you guys have your own banana trees...I'm jealous. Do they grow a bunch once a year or more times than that?

Each plant grows only one a year and give you 2-8 baby banana trees

howdy blacklux! well...this doesn't make sense to me and it's probably me..you mean a banana tree only produces bananas once a year?

Yeah 1 banana cluster and thats it. It can take up to a year to get bananas. A banana tree can give you 2-8 "seeds" or baby plants. So the only thing you need is a banana seed and you will not going to need to buy bananas again.

howdy blacklux! well I might need a redneck translation here but if they only produce bananas once a year and they produce at the same time then you'd only have your own bananas once a year right?
You can plant more trees but don't they produce at the same time of year?

No, you get bananas the entire year. The trees won't produce bananas at the same time. It depends on the soil, the weather and other stuff

howdy blacklux! so let me get this straight..if you plant enough trees you can have bananas all year. How many trees would that take?
