Here is the morning light coming into a nice Victorian spot where in which to crochet. The poinsettia ornament is from Lion Brands free crochet pattern #:L20293. I followed the color scheme, but used two strands of #10 size mercerized cotton with the following composition for each color:
Though bananas are not exactly Victorian, they are a nice addition to the yard of the present day Gulf Coast Victorian home. 
These bananas are plantains. grown in southeast Asia, and are grown in the New World Latin America. This clump fell ever about two weeks after this photograph was made.
They thrive on the Gulf coast. It took some of our 15 to more than 20 foot tall plantains (bananas) two years to reach their present height, after they died down to the ground after a freeze. Before and since then, they have flourished in our backyard. This year they have produced at least ten large bunches of bananas.
These bananas are actually plantains. Plantains do ripen. In our experience the fruit from these trees is is slightly tart when they are yellow with a little brown on the outside. This fruit does not brown inside quickly, and makes fantastic plantain bread when they are “overripe” , or very dark on the outside.
There is a lot of greenery, and repetition in the architectural features in the railings and the picket fences in this Southern Victorian neighborhood.
