You Can Plant Flowers That Look Like Tiny Flamingos and I Need One
OMG!! Cute plant alert! Also, if you love Flamingos, you are going to love this…
This is the Musa velutina — the Pink Dwarf Banana plant — and it kinda looks like a flamingo, right?!?
Or — if you are a Disney Nerd — Disnerd, if you will — like ME, it kinda looks like Kevin, from UP. Ha!
This pink beauty is actually a fruited plant from the Himalayas.
When it’s fruit is ready, it peels back, revealing its soft banana like contents.
The pink fruits are about 3 inches long, and they are pink, fuzzy, and have seeds.
The have a flower that stands erect out of the middle of the fruit. This gives the plant its flamingo like head.
You can try your hand at growing your own Musa velutina. They sell the seeds right on Etsy. I love that Etsy has all the cool things!
You can get 20 seeds for $4.99, and they are shipped without growing instructions, so make sure you have read up on this cool-as-heck plant before you attempt to grow it.
The good news, these seeds ship for FREE. I love FREE!! You can order the seeds here.
