Thank you!

OK, thanks for making 'mat' more clear, I understand that now.

Does hand = bunch (the thing I buy at grocery store)? Edited to add I am reading in Wiki now, and now know it's referred to as a 'tier' (?)

Is a 'finger' one fruit?

Also, why do some blossom structures stand straight up while others droop? When Ken's big plant started to show it's blossom and it was drooping I was worried that it was wilted or something because most of the photos I had seen up to that point showed the bloom standing straight up. Does this have to do with the species or type of banana it is?

I don't mean to sound totally clueless here, but I guess in fact I am totally clueless here - LOL
