Banana Plant in Bloom

Hawaii’s tropical climate is well suited for growing banana plants and there’s a good chance you may see one when you visit Hawaii. I took the photo above near Rainbow Waterfalls

on the Big Island.

The banana bloom is really unusual looking. The photo above shows a banana plant in bloom. If you look closely, you can see the bananas taking shape.

Bananas are actually herbaceous perennials and not woody plant like a tree. Here are more facts

about bananas.
