As far as exotic plants are concerned, I'm a huge fan. I'm always fascinated with plants and flowers that resemble other things. Like the flower that looks just like a parrot, I wrote about a while ago or succulents with bunny ears.
So I was really excited when I heard about this unique plant that loosely resembles a pink flamingo.
They look so cool and their vibrant pink color is out of this world. So when I found this dwarf banana tree that resembles them I was really psyched. And they're pink, too!
That's totally bananas. Ha, ha! This rare pink variety is actually a fruiting plant from the Himalayas. Whoa! I've never heard of it before. That's amazing. Isn't it?
And you can actually plant it yourself. All you need are the seeds, which you can get on Etsy. It's a great indoor plant.
It has waxy leaves with a pinkish midrib. Its flowers range from pink to orange, and, yes, it does have ornamental but also edible pink-skinned bananas. That's so incredible.
They're very sweet but be mindful because they're also full of seeds. This is one of those dwarf banana trees that can easily fruit indoors.
That is pretty surprising to me for a banana tree. You wouldn't think it can survive even frosty winters outside if heavily mulched, but it does. Nice!
You can get about 20 seeds for about five bucks so that's not too bad.
I think I could probably try to get this one to fruit.
OMG! I'm totally in love with this. I want to get this dwarf variety and grow it indoors and then surprise everybody with it. Oh yes!
