I knew not to expect much from this very small... not dwarf... orinoco blooming so late but was excited about the experience of watching the bananas grow until frost set in. The poor thing is rather pathetic looking with a very small skinny bloom. Now 3 cute little flowers emerged and today 2 of them dropped off. What causes this to happen?

A bit of info........ had this particular O potted up last year and then stuck it in my bedroom overwinter last year. It threw 2 pups, one of which is now bigger than the mother plant. They are now planted in ground (since spring) and the mother, which is blooming, is a stunted 4ft of psuedostem. The bloom is a mere 8 inches maybe, and perhaps slightly bigger around than a hickory farms meat stick. *heh* There is the slightest possibility that this is not an O, but I'm pretty sure it is.

I had planned on taking a pic but it's raining. (yay on that)
