The Misi Luki contest has come to an end! I have one hand (not visible in the picture) that is all male flowers.

The finger count by hand is:
1 = 14
2 = 14
3 = 14
4 = 14
5 = 14
6 = 14
7 = 14
8 = 14
9 = 11
10 = 2

That brings the total to 125 fingers which means Bob is the Winner and bikoro child is Runner Up!

Bob, please pm me with your choice from the list and your shipping info.

bikoro child, I will contact you with a different list that you can choose from.

Thanks everyone for playing! :)

Mitchel, is this one of the pups from what I have? How long diid it take to flower by you?

Yes it's from the same stand. About 15 months from freshly planted pup to bloom. I'm pretty sure the mother was planted in late March 2008. It flowered July of this year, and now 3 months later the biggest pup has bloomed! It took quite a while for it to send up it's first pup. I'm guessing that the pup only took about 12-13 months to bloom and I expect the next one to be even faster if we have a mild winter.

Here is the pup for Bob. At 7 feet to the top of the leaves it was the smallest pup I had on the Misi Luki stand. I've really been trying hard to keep the stand thinned so this was one of only two pups that I left for next years crop. Maybe you'll get fruit Bob! Just have to figure out how to ship it. I may have to cut down some.

Well this post is a little late but it's been a crazy week here!
Shortly after the contest ended this beauty arrived at my house undamaged by the USPS ( they must have known it wan't an Ae Ae:ha:)

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=27233&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=27233&ppuser=4095)

It's already growing in the front porch which is heated to about 80F during the day and lighted by a Sun system 400 watt metal halide with a light mover that moves 6' every 20 minutes increasing the effective growing area quite a bit( and I push that some too:ha:)

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=27232&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=27232&ppuser=4095)

Here's the rest of the porch:

A couple of Surprises came along with it including a beautiful canna that's already growing( If my Ae Ae fails this will have to do!)...sorry for the bad close up.

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=27236&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=27236&ppuser=4095)

Especially exciting was a hand of green immature Hawaiian apple bananas that we weren't sure would ripen so I put them back in the bag with and apple hopeful that it would help....
