This surely brightened up a dreary day. Thanks to PR-Giants I'm the proud owner of some new big hunkin' bananas. I thought the mailman was going to throw his back out getting the box out of the truck. :D

Meet my new ladies.

Patupi (The banana I've been obsessing over for several months. )

FHIA-21 and Veinte Cohol. Really excited to see if I can get the 21 to produce in my zone. I enjoy a challenge.

Beautiful Manini that I could club someone with.

I'm amazed they all fit in the box.

Thanks, Keith. They're gorgeous. Now I just have to make sure I do them justice.

As my adventure in growing from corms continues, y'all get to be bored by pics. I'm just documenting the progress so I can see if and when I screw up.

It's been a week since I potted by corms, and I'm excited to say three out of four have the start of roots. For some reason the FHIA-21 appears to be chilling out. Maybe she just doesn't like Louisiana. However....

Manini roots are appearing and it looks like she's trying to grow.
