Are those growing in LA? I learned something new about bananas on this trip to Honduras. I was familiar with the big purple blossom that hangs below the stalk but I didn't know that each individual banana has an orchid-like blossom on the end as it forms: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/65275301 The butterflies, bees, and wasps were busy fertilizing each individual blossom. http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/65275436 I'll never eat another banana without thinking about the beautiful blossoms that become bananas.
