Our very own "The Opinionated Gardner of Coral Gables", Jordan Steele jnstropic , and I have decided to come up with a contest for a free Ae Ae plant!
It should be a lot of fun and we're encouraging everyone to join it!
Here's how it goes.
Guess the ripening date of this bunch of Ae Ae fruits.
As seen Jan 14, 2007 -

To see the progression of the bunch, for more photos in the series, you must visit this link (scroll to the bottom of the page):

http://togofcoralgables.com/AeAebananas.aspx

The person who guesses the right date, or if the exact date was not chosen, the person who came the closest will win.
Only one entry per date, and one entry per member.
If there is a tie (if nobody picked the right date but two people picked the two surrounding dates), the person who guessed the day BEFORE the actual date will win, for example, if the bunch ripenes on the 20th and there were guesses for the 19th and another for the 21st, the person who guessed the 19th will win!)
Prize:
If the winner lives in South Florida, he/she will win a pup from this very plant! Winner must pick up the plant locally (and get a subsequent tour of a most amazing garden).
This plant must remain in the South Florida climate, so;
If the winner lives outside the South Florida area, he/she will win a very beautiful orchid, the Cattleya Blc. Mt. Hood 'Mary' AM/AOS
(see the photo on the top right of this page: http://togofcoralgables.com/Wallpaper.aspx )
Bonus!
We would like to have an Ae Ae banana tasting when the bunch is picked (or thereabout) so whomever would like to attend, let either jnstropic or myself know!

To enter:
Reply on this thread and post the date you think the bunch will ripen and get picked.

I will update this post and add your username next to the date you pick.
