The 'Praying Hands' banana is a strange site.  It doesn't look like your average grocery store banana but more like an alien's offspring left here to multiply and take over the world......Maybe not.  These pictures were taken at the Going-Bananas nursery and I urge any banana lover to check Don and Katie's place out. They are some of the nicest people I know and they have 100's of banana CVs.
