Re: Ensete superbum ssp. Thailand seeds are germinating
I meant to add something else! While in Thailand, I was perusing a banana book with some of the native and cultivated bananas of Thailand (the book was written in Thai). Stumbling upon the Ensete superbum page, there were pics of two different plants. One was the Thai superbum like the ones in my pictures. The other one was definitely NOT Kluay Pa...because...
It had a yellowish-green flower. Clearly it was an Ensete superbum, just a completely different flower! All of the Thai superbums I've seen had purple buds. I'd like to see this one in person someday.
I wonder how many Ensetes are still out there, waiting to be discovered? It is a pretty cool genus.
