Musella lasiocarpa flowering sequence of plant in cultivation in UK

15/11/03 - day 530 - The white pulpy mass of the fruit recovered from the compost surface having fallen out of a dehisced fruit. Slightly slimy when fresh the surface dried out in the air.  The black seeds can be seen beneath the surface of the fruit.  After a day or so the white mass turns purplish.  The flesh is a bit mealy and stringent with almost no "banana" flavour.

The black and white scale is in cm.
