Having heard `If you plant a pineapple crown, it will produce fruit', we planted one three years ago. The leaves have grown gradually but looked dead as their tips were brown. Nevertheless, it is now forming a pineapple!! The fruit is small, a size of my fist at the moment , however, we are very excited about a prospect of 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free'.
花?10か月前 flower? 10 months ago |

そんな矢先に鉢植えのバナナに花らしきものが!バナナももしかして期待できる?バナナは一度実がなると親株は死んでしまい、茎の周りに生えてくる新芽で増えるようです。一般的なバナナは種がないので。
On top of that, we found our potted banana plant is forming a huge flower. We don't want to be too optimistic but we may even get bananas! It is said that a banana plant dies after bearing fruits and a new generation grows from the shoots around the parent plant. Normally, bananas have no seed and multiply that way.
今は寒いので鉢植えはコンサーバトリ(サンルーム)にありますが、夏場は外に放置してあった熱帯植物。かなりゆっくりながらも育つんですね。
The potted tropical plants are in our conservatory now for the winter but were left outside in summer. They grow very slowly but steadily.
