It's those hideous big, blowsy, ballon shaped ones that I loathe. I always think they look ridiculous in any setting. Bananas - I like, but couldn't be bothered with the faff, and I don't have room here anyway. Perhaps when I retire, I may have all these things....

My banana gets planted once a year, ( an hour max ) I don't have to water it, feed it, stake it, train it, deadhead it , it doesn't get attacked by aphids or slugs and isn't prone to any disease and everyone says " WOW" when they see it. I dig it up at the end of the season, another hour tops and that's it. No faff What other plants in the garden are LESS faff than that? 2 hours in a whole year!
I ain't bringing it into my bedroom for the winter Hosta.... To be honest - I really don't have anywhere suitable it could go, and the wind would annihilate it. The cannas were hard enough when I had them

Even if you only have it for the season, you can buy them for about £10. How far would £10 worth of petrol take you? how much would you get in a pub / supermarket / restaurant for £10? Wouldn't even get you 2 tickets in a cinema for a film lasting a couple of hours. The wind, I'll grant you, does them no favours.
I'm loving my banana (Musa basjoo) - new to me this year. It's in a pot and appears to be making lots of 'pups' - maybe I could send you one a year, Fairy? When I've learnt how to deal with them, that is.

I do actually like them - very structural, but I'm not kidding when I say I have nowhere suitable for it, and overwintering here would be very hit and miss - even with my new little greenhouse.
