Going green by growing our own bananas! They were much too green here (at least to eat raw!)...but it wasn't long before we were able to enjoy ripe, very tasty home-grown bananas! Captured late morning, in early winter, on the 1st of June 2007...

What an amazing shape they are Carolyn. Can't imagine them growing longer and slimmer but I suppose they do.

Actually I could not figure out what the background was viewing at full size but it is clearer from the mini pic that it is autumn coloured leaves.

A very enjoyable shot!

  Thanks so much, Kate - great to hear from you again!! Don't these bananas look delicious?!! Of course, they were much nicer when they had ripened!! [Mind you, in some places cooked green bananas are quite a delicacy!! ;o)]

This particular variety of banana, 'Lady Finger', is a shorter variety than the 'Cavendish' that is most commonly sold in the shops here!! I'd say these ones pictured are full grown!! :o)

Yes, the leaves you can see in the background are autumn-coloured leaves on our large(!) plum tree!! It's *badly* in need of some *heavy* pruning!! ;o/ The plums on it are very nice, though!! :o)

Jack - according to pages found in Google it seems that the number of varieties of bananas varies widely between "more than 500", and "almost 1000"!! Amazing, huh?!! ;o)
