My Praying hands has sent out its flag leaf and bloom. This mommy plant is so tall that I need a 8ft laddar to climb up and take a picture of it. In the picture attached here, it's hard to see the bloom yet, but it is there right in the middle if you look closely.

I was also unexpectantly surprised to see my little Goldfingers sending out its flag leaf and bloom in December! The plant that is blooming is actually the daughter plant while mommy still has nothing yet.

I was expecting all these plants to bloom this summer, instead they chose this season. So one more thing I learn about bananas blooms--they do their thing any time they like it and however manner they like it (i.e. daughter first). I certainly hope their blooms will do well in this weather which is so far so good.
