B-A-N-A-N-A

Dear readers,

As some of you may already know, I am working in the tropical plant business. Plants and trees are not only beautiful, but they are also a necessity in our lives. Without them, we would simply not survive! Not only do they provide us with oxygen, but also with fabrics, food, oils and many more things! Think about it! Asphalt, clothing (cotton), wooden furniture, paper, rubber, fuel oil, alcohol...the list goes on and on and on!

For today, I wanted to put the banana plant in the spotlights. It's official name is "Musa Banana" and I think it's a really beautiful plant with big leaves, kind of elephant-ear-like and a deep green colour with some brown spots. Do you like this plant?

Love, Melissa

P.S. Did you know there are not only yellow bananas, but also red bananas?
