Banana as what we call for an edible fruit produced by many kinds of large flowering plants from the genus Musaceae. The fruit is variable in size, color and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved in the shapes. The fruits grow in clusters which begun by a deep purple heart-shape bract emerge from the top of the plant. Day by day the bracts ( that cover a comb/bunch of the fruits in each bract ) will fall off one by one until the smallest fruits appear at a certain point of the clusters indicating as the last fruits.
Pisang sebagai apa yang kita sebut untuk buah yang dihasilkan oleh berbagai jenis tanaman berbunga besar dari genus Musaceae . Ukuran buahnya sangat bevariasi, warna dan kekerasannya, tetapi biasanya memanjang dan melengkung dalam bentuknya. Buah tumbuh dalam kelompok yang dimulai oleh kelopak bunga berwarna ungu tua yang berbentu jantung muncul dari bagian atas tanaman. Hari demi hari kelopak bunganya (yang membungkus sisir / sekelompok buah disetiap kelopaknya) akan jatuh satu per satu sampai buah terkecil muncul pada titik tertentu dari kelompok yang menunjukkan buah yang terakhir.
What a wonderfully vivid photo.

How long does it take a banana plant to grow? It looks like there are several bananas forming on the plant in your photograph. Do people grow them in their backyards? I bet they are really tasty!

Bananas grow everywhere in our country even on the nobody’s land. The people usually grow them at the back yard or on their farmland. The growth ranges from 3 to six month from the shoots to baring its fruits while other new shoots grow up from it.

Muhammad, thank you for your presentation of these flowers. I have never considered bananas as having flowers, only as a fruit that grows on a tree and which I buy in the supermarket.

Kathleen, These photos are taken from my garden few weeks ago. you can see behind the trees, a cluster of Taros and green beans. Those are parts of the plants I grow and enough for our own consumption and the rest are shared with the neighbors. I am glad like bananas that are good for health. 🙂

thanks for the pics. i have never seen banana flowers so the pic is unusual even for me. usually we see only the fruit. what variety is yours? pisang mas? not many people like to grow banana plants in their garden. at least i dont see them in towns. i think it is because they trap water and that provides breeding pools of water for mosquitos. do you spray the water with oil to prevent breeding? in my family home in petaling jaya,we plant papaya trees instead. and suger cane. and curry leaves. is taro also called yams? if so, my mother used to plant them. it seems during the communist insurgency that was the only available thing to eat.

Hi alifesgayventure, Thanks for revisiting. It’s over a hundred in variety include pisang mas and pisang raja. I don’t spray them as long as the garden is clean and dry soil surface. Taro is named as Talas. Cheers.
