A Banana Boat... song? Story!!

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Heyyy, remember about a week back, I posted the banana flower? A beautiful purple flower at the end of the stem? And I said I would go back to check if the bananas had fruited?

Well, here they are! 😃

Not very big bunch... Not very big bananas. And someone actually took the flower! 😯 Told you it is edible, right?!!

Took a shot of the bunch from kinda underneath to show you the combs of bananas, as well as the stem where the flower was cut off!

This... from a little further off... So you can see the entire bunch
Looks like its a jungle out there, right?
Not really, remember, we were just having our tea time just a few feet away!
And if I turn around, I'm actually at the satay (sate) grill... hahaha!
Hmmm, they could actually grill the bananas... hehehe!

And this is kinda the banana tree!
Not too big, not too many leaves
A bit messy, hence I thought a monochrome might make it look better! Haha!! A personal trick I use... when things don't look so good; black and white kinda 'cleans' it up! Makes it look 'creative'!
😉 It is growing right from the sides of a canal, so it was a bit awkward to photograph, without falling right over!
You wouldn't want that to happen, right?!! Right??

That's so cool to have bananas growing right there. Did you pick any to take home even though it was tricky by the water lol

Haha - yeah, I could have but they weren't fully ripened yet! Although they looked good enough for fried banana fritters - good too! ;)
Thank you, @molometer!

Yeah... lots of small fruits... But still green - Good for fried banana fritters tho!

@ackhoo Awesome sis, I've also planted several banana trees at my home's backyard :D

Wow! So you'll soon be enjoying the fruits of your labour? Or should I say the fruits from your tree... lol
Thank you, my friend! :)

Yeah, soon enough sis, the banana tree's flowers just blossoming now (maybe another few months, perhaps lol)

You're welcomed my friend :D

Wow! Hmmm, if the timing is same with this little tree, it should be within a month or less. I shot the flower less than 2 weeks ago plus minus some days between...
Enjoy the fruits when they are ripe!! :D

what rich bananas and very nice photos
Have a happy day

Happy day, @txatxy... Thank you very much too!! :))

I love it. I didn't even realize that bananas flowered so nicely. Cool pics and I agree about the black and whites. Fixes my bad photos all the time. ;)

Hehehe... looks like we all found that lil 'secret'... lol
Thank you very much, @energyaddict22! Do you get many banana plants/trees there? May be the reason you're unfamiliar with them... We get lots of them everywhere, almost! :)

Great photos! I want some of those beautiful bananas please!!🤗

@khamal11 - STOP asking upvotes for upvotes; you'll find people staying away from you!

You know i have actually seen them banana flowers been sold at the Thai markets i always wondered what they cook them with and how they must taste ???

Yup, we can easily find them here too, even in supermarkets!
I know there's a dish with the flower cut in thin strips, then cooked with coconut milk and turmeric powder, into a type of curry. Not quite sure about the taste though, I usually take the curry without the flower strips! :D

Interesting must try one day thanks for that info :)
