Finally I was able to upload my pictures of my first flag leaf and flower from my Ice Cream. Since it took awhile to download off my camera I will show several dates of pictures. Just to make sure of what kind this is, by looking at the pics is this a Ice Cream(Blue Java) ?

Sorry for so many pics at once but I had some catching up to do. I lost the cord to download from my camera. Thanks for looking.

Looks good but you may want to consider propping it before long.

I would have guessed Orinoco only because it looks exactly like mine which is also in flower now, first hand has 3 fingers on it but we have short season here no chance of having any harvest.

I can't tell if it's an IC, but I can say, even after the horible winter we had, we shall overcome!

The bottom 4 hands, are they deformed or are those going to just fall off eventually?

It is much smaller than a full sized 'Ice Cream', so if you compare photos it looks different, but to me it looks like 'Ice Cream'.

Bottom hands are likely male flowers which, yes, will fall off eventually.

Congrats! And thanks for the dated photos! They look very much like Patty's and Bob's so I would say Ice Cream. Anyway, I've been trying to learn more about the flowers and the dated photos help a lot! :D

Thanks Bob, I don't know about being the King, but I am pretty happy with my first bunch....Must be beginners luck.
