Yeah. That was me. And I still maintain that they are the same plant. Especially, with similar colorations, growing habits, fruit description, and interestingly, the flattening of the trunk when they are young making them look like the Traveler's Palm. Jarred posted a picture of his young Lady Finger that had a flattening at the base of the leaf petioles, and I thought I was looking at a picture of my own D. Niņos. Unfortuantely, I'll have to wait another couple of years to show what my 2 Dwarf Niņos would look like, because they are reduced to baby corms from being in a cold green house. Next winter, I'll put them in a much warmer section.

Loggee's must be buying all the Dwarf Niņos from Agristarts because I haven't seen them available for a long time.
