Default Re: Musa 'Bordelon' Question

Here are 2 links to photos of my original plant I got about 4 or 5 years ago, blooming in a 3 gal (14"). I moved my entire collection that year and just moved everything again about 2 years ago. I thought I didnt have it anymore until I recently found a small pup growing in that same pot! It has been in the ground about a month now and is producing its flower. The very tops of the leaves come up to my chest, the flower raceme is about 12" below that. So I think that it does sucker true, otherwise I think it should have grown a lot taller in the ground before it produced the flower. I checked and it doesnt have any suckers on it yet, but Im sure it will by the time it is done producing fruit. Any clues anyone? I would LOVE it if I have another rare one that no one can ID! :>)
