If it was a wild one it was most likely Musa balbisiana 🌿🌿🌿 Everything is spread about these days so it could have been a cultivar, as well.

(Musa acuminata)is a species of banana native to Southern Asia, renowned as a key ancestor of most modern dessert bananas, including the Cavendish variety. It is also valued for its pharmacological properties, attributed to compounds like flavonoids and polyphenols

Mid frame tall skinny trees all but touch the low cloud covered sky. A dash of sun illuminates the clouds and in the distance a sliver of blue. Taken in a meadow of bramble & bush, muted colours mesh together in a quiet scene. In the distance a thick dense forest is barely visible.

Pokeweed(Phytolacca americana)is a perennial native to eastern North America, now naturalized in Europe, Asia, and the West Indies. While young leaves can be safely consumed after thorough boiling, the berries and other parts are highly poisonous to humans and other animals

On the forest floor, October suddenly brings the rich live of fungi.
I like seeing them trough the camera lens and there is always chance to capture unusual bokeh. 🍄🍂🍃

Petrified Forest National Park
Arizona

Enter the quiet where desert winds carry stories and clouds drift like forgotten verses. The land speaks in warmth and silence, reminding you that beauty doesn’t clamor. It lingers, soft as a shadow on sand.
