Banana Tree

Since the post regarding my "green thumb", I've had some requests for pictures of the banana tree. When I wrote that one I had yet to see any life in the banana tree because I cut it to the ground, as instructed. The trunk actually appeared to be rotting but I guess when I flooded it, like it was in a rain forest, it did something to wake it up because it's growing at a lightening speed. I haven't measured it day by day but I am positive it's adding 1-2 inches a day. It's insane!  

Since I'm proudly showing my green thumb off, I'm going to go ahead and brag about my cross vine. This one I planted last year and I was lucky if it had one bloom on it, at a time, and it seemed a bit dormant. This year it's growing like a weed and it's full of blooms!! WOOT! That's my vision working, baby. Yeah, baby! I did that too. lol. 

In case you can't see the hundreds (maybe that's an exaggeration but if I wasn't showing you a picture, I'd definitely use that term to brag. lol) of blooms, here's one that's a close up view..

Look, there are more blooms in waiting. WOOT! Vision, baby!
