Unfurling Banana Leaf

Its dark green with some purple variegation, the flash washed out the green on its smooth surface. I liked how it enhanced the veining of the leaf. Without the flash my lamp turns it a flat orangy. :-)

Thanks Marguerite :-)

brilliant shot

Fantastic Photo :)

Great photo Greenthumb....

Well captured

Oh, thank you. :-) I'm really enjoying watching this one grow up. :-)

Lovely GT. Great photo

Beautiful. It's exotic to us too. Difficult to grasp that you are growing it where you live.

lol, My little indoor paradise! :-)

Wow! a banana in Fairbanks....lol... i love it!!! what a terrific effect! great pic, GT!

Thanks Lori, I'm hoping everything holds out, my balast was out this morning, so no light! AHHHHH!

OH MY GOOONNESS! making a quick trip to town are we?

Balast is the transformer that powers my light. It was a burnt fuze, so all fixed. I was afraid everything would get a forced winter. I had to get through work and throw in a greenhouse visit to get it fixed. So glad it was nothing major!
I was thinking six or seven feet, but then I saw a banana fruiting on delonix page and thought, oh my, it was very large. Flcrazy had one flower at about six feet, I can't let it go beyond that......maybe :-)

They die after fruiting...sad. :-(

Oh, I hope it spreads enough to have some new shoots to start up after the fruit than. Thats what I'm expecting.
