Our very own bananas growing on our banana tree, from blossom to harvest.

Banana blossom with  baby finger-sized bananas

 More layers growing

 More layers, getting bigger

 Gorgeous Bananas with blossom cut off so they could mature!

 Something started eating the bananas. Fearing it was fruit bats, Rex covered them with a sheet; but something climbed up from the bottom and kept eating our sweet bananas. Rex cut them down still green and brought them into the house. We are sharing them.

Our banana harvest minus about 7 already eaten by us & critters.We were intrigued watching them grow. Every day, as we backed out of the yard, I would yell in honor of my father, "Good Morning, Bananas! Blow your tops off!,"
