Start of a banana???

N.C. Mts., NC(Zone 6b)

Would this grow to be a real banana if I had 2 more months of summer? The banana looking part is 1&1/2 inches long.

Yes, those are immature bananas.

Those are the flowers from the banana. The bananas will form where the flowers where.

Thank you for your answer. There are a few still hanging on. Do you think if I dug up and put the plant in a big pot and put it in the greenhouse it would continue growing??
I thought bananas grew high on the plant This is really low to the ground. It's raining now, will try to get a picture.

Ignore the weeds, have back problems so none of the flower beds have been weeded. It is low on the left.
