Default Musa aurantiaca, how's yours looking?

M. aurantiaca just got put outside for the first time, and it's really starting to show some of it's color on the new leaf. It's almost got a blood leaf banana look but not quite, but the flower should be the highlight anyways. My seed germinated outside in really early spring last year when it was really chilly, along with some Musa sikkimensis seeds, so I'm hoping that that's a sign of cold tolerance. If your wondering why it is so small, I took the smallest one of the batch of seedlings, because it was easier to move with a smaller plant, and it might just stay shorter because it is an ornamental.




I'm up here in the cold country, how's yours looking in warmer parts of the country or abroad?
