How's this for a flower
Lyn and Malcolm:
A flower on our Musa Basjoo Banana plant, you can't see the very small bananas behind the flower.
Actually the flower was formed last Autumn, just below leaf stalk level, so when I cut the leaves off last winter to protect the plant, I had no idea there was a flower bud hiding in the main trunk.
Now the flower is produced the whole trunk will gradually die, but the plant does produce new growth from under the soil. And there are another three trunks anyway.
We are still waiting for the Strelitzia "bird of paradise" to open it's flower. So two good pictures for our wpg plant guide.

Lyn and Malcolm:
It should turn a few heads on Sunday, and lead to a lot more questions from our open day visitors. ;D

P.S. That flower looks like it could do with an item of lingerie :-[ :D
NightHawk:
