The Freeze

This is what our hard, 3 days in a row freeze did to our banana tree, OUCH!



The bananas all turned black.
Once the stalk of the tree produces bananas, you cut it down so the new stalks will produce next years bananas.



But as you can see there are no beautiful green leaves to feed the tree. I wasn't sure we would get bananas next year BUT look--



See the purple bud. Amazing!! That is the blossom for the bananas. Nature is amazing!




And this, what is this you ask...
Ahh it's the smell of orange blossoms!!!
You missed them by a week Heather!
