Our Blue Java (aka Ice Cream) Banana sent up two more blooms. They peeked out while we were away at Tiki Oasis 8. Here they are more fully ripened: You can see the blooms (with hands extended) in the upper right and left hand corners of the photo. We used bamboo poled lashed together to help support the bunches as they grow heavy. Here's a photo of what I harvested this morning from our front yard: Clockwise, starting in the upper left corner, we've got Italian Parsley, Dwarf Carrots, Golden Cherry and Hawaiian Currant Tomatoes, Garlic Chives and Borage, with Lemon Cucumbers and Pears from our (Ornamental) Pear tree in the middle. Nature is great!
