Banana tree flower

In Costa Rica at the butterfly garden our guide, Daniel, showed us the flower of a banana tree. It looks more like a pod than a flower! I had never seen one of those before!

See more lovely flowers at Today's Flowers, hosted by Luis Santilli Jr, Denise Gullickson and Laerte Pupo.

I have never seen a banana flower either! But I am interested to see that the fruit really does grow upside down! Up, whatever!
