Bananas!

While recently visiting a friend on the north Florida mainland, remember, we live on Amelia Island, I spied what looked to be a bunch of bananas.  I moved a little closer for a better look-see. By jingo, that was exactly what they were.  She hadn't noticed her bananas yet because the plant had never produced such before this time.  Well, for  this Yankee from Pennsylvania, it was a very exotic thing to see.  And the huge pink blossom at the top of that plant reminded me a tiny bit of the Bird of Paradise flower.  I wonder how they will taste, once they've ripened.
