Banana Flower
The banana flower is a large, dark purple-red blossom that grows up from the end of a bunch of bananas. Its sizable bracts, or leaves, enclose delicate, sweetly scented male flowers. The female flowers, which do not require fertilization to become fruit, grow farther up the stem from the male flowers.
We, Indonesian people, used to call it banana heart. It’s edible; but you must cook it first. Have you ever tried it?

It looks amazing and I have seen something similar in our National Botanical Garden in Washington DC, and would like to experience the taste of it. I wonder if it tastes anything like a banana flavor?
