Hello Everyone!!
I thought I'd share some pictures from my collection. They are almost all new this year and growing them this year has been quite a challenge due to the extreme heat and lack of humidity this summer, not to mention the lack of appreciable rainfall from June till the end of September. I freaked out when the temps dipped into the lower 40s a week ago and brought them all in, but now it's back in the 70s day 50s night, but I'm leaving them inside. The 4 dwarf cavendish were in the ground and the rest were potted for this year. Next spring they all go in the ground.
I picked these up from a local nursery this year

This basjoo overwintered in my house last year when I didn't know much about bananas. I never watered it, and it died all the way back. I was going to throw it away, but when I looked at the corm it had a small growth coming from it, so I repotted it outside and it started to grow.
