Hello, my name is Brian and I am a plant addict. I spend my weekends with my fellow addicts as we travel to every nursery/Lowes/Homedepot within our reach. The best plants are the ones on sale or mislabeled and very cheap.
My interest in the botanical world shifts from genus to genus peroidically. This year was all about Musa species. I tracked down several cold hardy varieties: Musella lasiocarpa, Musa. Thai black, basjoo, velutina, Ice cream, Gran Nain, Iholene, Rajapuri, and couple of unknowns.
I have a 8x16 Rion greenhouse for my tropicals and banana pups. The adult bananas will have to rough it out doors this season. I am hoping for a mild winter. I kept pups off my collection encase something really goes wrong this winter.:woohoonaner:
