I order a few bananas from both greenearth and wellspring.
I wanted to report as I know others are always wondering about who to order from.
I ordered from greenearth at $10.95 plus shipping
2 cali. golds
2 goldfinger
2 ice cream (figure these might acutally be namwah) would love to hear from others on that
2 rajapuri
From Wellspring at 6.95 I ordered
1 orinoco
1 dwarf red
1 manzano apple
and various other plants on sale for like $5 each but not bananas
Report
The both sent me what I wanted (as far as I know) in a timely manner and plants arrived within a week of ordering unharmed.
Wellspring put in some free agapanthus as their promised.
Personally I think the extra 4 bucks was worth it for greenearth as their plants were larger and since this is my hobby I like bigger plants for not much more.
The green earth plants were in larger pots (before shipping, pots removed for shipping) all with 3 or more leaves and most good height on them. The tallest are about a 2 foot pstem with leaves higher. Shipped in the triangle boxes due to height
Wellspring were in good condition and what they promised (3" tall) to no problem with them. They were shipped in a medium priority box in 2 in square pots plants were less than 6 inches tall I'd say with one having only 1 leaf. They do appear to be in good shape and the site did not promise large bananas. They also had some vanilla plant, water chestnut, exotic fig and pineapple guava so I was excited about playing with those plants cheaply.
I have attached some picture for those interested

You can see in this picture greenearth largest versus wellspring largest both taller than promised with leaves.

I am very excited about the varieties I just picked up to potted them last night and hope I keep them alive. LOL
