The flower, which may also be called banana blossom, grows on the end of the stem holding a cluster of bananas.

Look below the cluster of bananas and you will see the deep purple blossom near the bottom of the picture.

They eat these blossoms as a vegetable in certain parts of Asia.

The blossom is a deep crimson color and consists of tightly packed bracts that wrap around rows of male flowers.

It is the inner pale colored bracts that are used for Asian food dishes.
