I think that it is going to bloom. This "spike" is very different than the ones we have seen when it is a leaf. It is outside our kitchen and so we can watch it very close and often. It now seems that this spike is taking forever to come out far enough, so that we can really tell.
This plant is from Banana Tree. We bought the corm last year ,in February, so it has now been growing for over 20 months.
If any one wants I can take some pictures. Just let me know and also how you get them on, as an attachment.

What make Bananas bloom.
We have a really tall one, culture UNK, and it been growing about 19 months and still nothing(Lots of pups 3+). Also have a lady finger that is about 9 months old.(One pup) Very healthy and both growing great, taller one past the roof line.

It Is definitely the start of a bloom We are now heading into the second week that we realised it was something other than a leaf. The bloom is still covered in leaf like green, with red streaks, and about 18 inches above the last leaf. One section is curled and I would guess that is where the bloom will come out. Of course now it is starting to get cold, in the low 50's,in the mornings, but warms up to mid 70's in the afternoon. I am just hoping that this cool weather will not slow down the growth. Have fed it and watching it like a hawk.
