Gardening Question Winterizing plants

I purchased Roberta's Exotic Banana plant through QVC and it is doing extremely well and I am in zone 5 (Omaha NE) and we are preparing for a frost this wk.end and I would like info on how to winterize it. Please let me know what I need to do, as this plant is now reaching about 4-5 ft. and I don't want to lose it. I absolutely love it. Thank you. Diane

Banana plants will need to move indoors for the winter since they will certainly not tolerate frosts or cold temperatures. Keep them in the most sunny place possible indoors, as they do not do well in too much shade. Some suggest supplementing window light with a grow light if no sunny window are available. Indoors, your banana will be very attractive, but flowers and fruit are not likely unless you have a hothouse.

Help with a flower Help with a flower
Could somebody help me ID a plant? It has a long stem and the flowers gather at the top (there are about 50+ pods). The three bottom pods have opened up to reveal flowers that are very much like lillies in appearance. They are a light green colour. I am happy to accept it is a lillie, except that it is a single stem, with no leaves across the stem, and the number of pods for flowers is huge, something I have never seen on a lilly before. Plus, I do have a lilly in my garden (Orange Tiger Lilly) and it looks totally different. Any ideas?
