The first two hands of bananas were fine, then each of those little ridges, should have been a hand of bananas.. it stopped making bananas, then a few days ago, the pod started opening and making the flowers that would make the bananas. we have never seen it do this before. Woo Hoo we may yet have fruit....so we thought....
The storm came, the wind blew, the rain fell and so did the banana tree, broke half in to... Bye Bye Bananas.
Oh NO! Sorry about the storm!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hope everything else is ok!
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating! They were looking so healthy too. Sorry Sandra!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, I have never seen a banana tree bloom before! It is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your Florida life with this Missouri girl!
ReplyDeleteOh my word I had no idea how bananas started. They certainly have pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteHugs madi and mom
Is there a chance for the bananas to grown again soon?

Oh NO!!!!!!! Might the plant recover from the stalk, the way my yucca did when it got too tall and broke?
ReplyDeleteOh no naughty Mother Nature. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
What a shame, it must be great to be able to grow bananas. I eat one every day!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your banana plantation is kaput! Will you plant again? Where does one purchase a banana plant in the U.S. or does Bob start them from seed? Do they have seeds? Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Oh no I am so sorry to hear this :(
ReplyDeleteThankfully nobody was hurt though :)
Oh how sad. I've never seen a banana bloom before. The amazing things I learn on 'bloggville'
ReplyDeleteawww! sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteOh no! There my be no bananas, then there may be bananas, then there will definitely be no bananas
ReplyDeleteoh no! maybe it will come back. these are gorgeous pics!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry :(
ReplyDeleteOh NO!!!! Has this ever happened before? It has withstood so many things for years...maybe it was because it is getting old? Can you buy the small trees at a garden center? Your pictures really look like something from outer space.
ReplyDeleteThat's a major bummer! Having a banana tree that actually produced bananas would have been so cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is not good - darn - I love bananas!
ReplyDeleteWell BOO!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your bananas. What a disappointment.
It must have been a doozy of a rain and wind storm...wish we could have a bit of that rain here.
AWW, so sorry about your banana tree!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, :( :(
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the storm and how it would affect you guys! Bananas are one of my favorite fruits!!!
ReplyDeleteIt broke in two? You have to be kidding me!!!!!!What a darn old shame. Oh, I bet you two were having a fit! I would have been! Any hope to save the tree? I am really sorry about this. I know how you liked that tree and the bananas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOH NO!!!! Not the banana tree. Mother nature has not been kind to the trees in your yard lately has she. So is the tree dead now or is there a chance it will survive?
ReplyDeleteHow disappointing!
ReplyDeleteAww, poo! They looked pretty healthy, too. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I am so sorry you lost your bananas. They were really growing well too. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo sad about your banana tree!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your banana tree! What a bummer. I just bought a bunch of bananas. I eat one every day for the potassium.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this before! Wow!
ReplyDeleteUncooperative weather--a fact of life even in paradise. Bad enough to lose the bananas, but the banana tree, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry about them there bananas Sandra .
