On Friday, this banana leaf shoot caught my eye.
I found it interesting to look at the leaf-in-the-making up close.
When I went to the garden on Saturday, this was what I saw.
On Sunday, I had a big surprise awaiting me!
The new leaf felt like soft vinyl. I wish I had been present at it’s moment of birth.

So much fun to look at these pictures.

Wow!! it grows so darn fast…makes one want to stay up all night and watch it open up, like a famous flower in India (don’t remember the name but have written poems about it) that flowers only once a year in the night. Great photos too!

A friend of mine in Seattle has a flower that blooms only once a year, during the night. I don’t remember what it was though.

Is her plant an Amaryllis? Or does it smell bad when it blooms. I forget the name of that one.
Did you notice the banana plant behind me in the old photograph I had in my post Fluffy, the Duck?

Amazing, I found the original email. The flower is a Cereus. No, I didn’t notice the banana plant. I will take a look. The neighbors across the street have one. I wish I had more places in my yard that were sunny. I’d grow bananas and turmeric!
