So about a month later I have 3 E. glaucum and 4 M. velutina. The Ensete are about 1' high (to tip of newest leaf) with 3 leaves each. The M. velutina are only 3" high and working on second leaves. I have a bunch of double white/violet daturas and a crap load of castor beans (Zanzibariensis) starting. The castor bean seeds are sprouting after 2 days!!! These are from a 12' parent plant I grew last year with 3' leaves; dark green with maroon veins. I have dozens of seeds if anyone in the Toronto area wants to trade for seeds/seedlings, I'm looking for a couple of Xanthosoma sagittifolium tubers.
