le bananier

I was drawn by the light through the leaves of the banana tree and then found the flower and the bunch of tiny bananas round the other side.

Thank you, as always, for all interest shown in my pics: views, comments and favs. I cannot routinely manage individual thanks, preferring to comment on your photos. It was good to see my brown butterfly made it to PP.

A walking plant? A puzzle for me, Tony!! Thanks for fav!

[Margaret Brown]

A nice angle capture, lovely to see the beginnings .. I think another of the plants that walk is the pineapple ?? Tony will probably know better.

@quietpurplehaze Yes, when it produces Bananas it sends out a new tree about 2 - 3 ft away from the mother plant, the mother plant then dies, the new one produces the next bananas and it goes on and on, traveling yards and yards from the original plant.

Really like that light, you can see the cross hatching on the leaf, can see why you were taken with it, so pretty;
Thank you for asking if I am ok, I lost a couple of days, not sure where they went, today's event was a non starter:0( But you live and learn
