Default Re: Banana Flower Photo Database

Just my 2 cents worth on this subject, coming from a novice nanner lover...
I am also a big fan of palms and have found that in one of my palm books entitled, "Betrock's Cold Hardy Palms", author Alan Meerow has a key to identifing palms that is almost exactly like the example Gabe has posted above... I have found that this key has helped me many times in id'ing many unknown palms... Living where I do, and not being an expert on bananas, I sure hope bananas.org can and will set up some sort of key to help us better id bananas, and not just by flower alone... Any distinguishing features that would help a novice like myself would be invaluable... Right now, the only way I can get a positive id is to post a pic and that is not always convenient... Like I said, this is just my humble opinion... Thanks to all you nanner experts, I have already learned alot and hope to learn much more in the future...
