Default Re: Musa zebrina X velutina pics

The correct name for this plant would be "M. velutina X M. zebrina". Gabe is right when he said the mother is listed first in all hybrids. That is why I asked. So the correct way to name hybrids is "mother (seed bearer) X father (pollen donor)". It seems to be a minor point but doing the cross the other way could give very different results or in some cases similar, to the eye, results, but with different characteristics below the surface. In any case, that is a beautiful plant and you should be a proud Papa. MORE HYBRIDS! PLEASE.
