These look like squat little sugar bananas, Jilly. I am trying to refrain from commenting on the shape ...

Banana flowers are usually a deep burgundy colour. Interesting that this one is more like golden. I wonder if it's a decorative variety or just a different type?

I'm really enjoying the tour of these magnificent gardens with you.
