and how did it get there? You cannot remove the paper,
it's a part of the banana stems.


Nancy,
Are you sure that's paper? The flower of the banana looks a bit like
an unhusked cob of corn. I suspect (only guessing) that this flower
dried up but didn't fall off. It would be kind of like a tomatillo or
persimmon husk but around a whole hand (bunch) of bananas as they
mature.


Okay, I took an even closer look and it's really paper. Like
cheap napkin paper.
