I was astounded the first time I saw a banana stalk and the flower – Incredibly, despite eating bananas my whole life, I only learned how they grow during a recent visit to Costa Rica.
Yes, isn’t it amazing how much all of us don’t understand or take for granted. These photos are of trees growing in my garden; otherwise I would be clueless. Thank you for your visit and comment.
