Banana Flower

Have you ever seen a banana flower? Well, I had not until I moved to the tropics. One of our banana plants just popped out a flower and I wanted to share it. Isn't it cool! The petals of the flower are the baby bananas!
The other pic is of a wild flower that I saw on a walk around the neighborhood.

Also, it has been super windy lately. That means lots of palm fronds and coconuts have been falling. So, I have been collecting the young green coconuts and have gotten 2 pitcher fulls of delicious coconut water!
