Default It's alive!
After heavy rain and a little neglect while I was on vacation this winter, this little guy turned into a rotted stump.

I heard miracle stories of banana plants coming back to life. So I trimmed this one to the ground removing all the rot. After a month or so, what do you know, it came back to life.
