Monocarpic bulbs/plants

That is great growing Pete!!

 

Perhaps Musa is not monocarpic and Ensete is? (I have not idea I'm afraid, although Basjoo is Musa and my knowledge of monocarpic Bananas relates to Ensete family)

 

I think Ensete is kind of monocarpic, but it rarely flowers in the UK.
And now I think I know what you mean about cutting it down Kristen, to encourage pups, I have heard of this, but its used on Ensete rather than Musa I believe.

 

Looks like you were growing Banana and Leek pie Pete? !!

 

There is something rather fascinating about the Musa blooms. Not beautiful, but fascinating.

 

I made a bit of an error.Had a bit of a chance to rummage through my pics.
Not found some really good ones I took of sikkimensis Cant remember what year it was.
The two banana flower pics I uploaded were Sikkimensis which is purple, the basjoos are yellow. Shown below.
