Toward the latter part of our trip we ended up in a park, which surrounded a gorgeous waterfall/river landscape about
1hr drive from Nha Trang and with no other town nearby.
This is where I saw this banana plant:

The top of this flower is barely 4’off the ground. You
can also see some fruit developing

In order to have proof of that I asked my wife on the way back to stand beside it to give a scale to the plant:

She appears not too happy with this subordinate role to a banana plant

Obviously she is much happier in a rock crevice below a waterfall

Turning around I noticed a couple more of these dwarf bananas, just to proof that the first one was not
an exceptional case of stunted growth

Stay tuned more to come!
