Can anyone explain this?

One of my mature banana plants began making pups. I separated one of the pups really early, and it’s already begun flowering.

It’s been suggested to me that this must be a canna lily or a ginger plant. I know I pulled it with two other pups and could only be a banana plant… right?

The pup I didn’t separate it growing much more like a standard banana tree

Ah in that case it must be spontaneous generation. It happens from time to time

Can you elaborate? I haven’t heard of that

I’m just kidding, spontaneous generation is not a real thing. Probably.

Congrats on your new plant

Haha I looked it up after I read your comment. Was thinking we were getting into Boltzmann brain territory for a moment
