Some more (as some with finely tuned observational skills may have figured out, I've finished working on my income taxes and am working on my banana garden):

Both of my California Gold plants (one is a pup from a large plant Joe Real gave me in June 2007 and another is one I bought directly from Jeff Earl) are both growing from where they left off last year. Some of their old leaves retained some green. I think I'll dig up the one I bought from Jeff Earl and planted it in a location that gets more hours of sun since it hasn't grown real well in it's present location.

My Red Iholene looked nice last fall and I didn't really have much hope for it, but the psuedostem is fairly firm. However, it feels like it has some rot in the ground as it feels a bit loose. I suspect it will send up some pups.

In my greenhouse I also have a Logee's Dwarf Ladyfinger and that's another one that I will probably keep protected in my greenhouse next winter (though I'll keep the main plant in the ground if it pups and just bring a pup inside).

In my greenhouse I also have a Hawaiian Apple from momoese which will get planted in the ground. It will probably be too big to bring inside next winter so it will get tested then, though I hope to have a pup to bring in as a back-up.
