My good old Dwarf Orinoco has just raised its' first flag leaf and racime. This is the first banana in my starter collection of 15 types that has popped a racimo. Got the original corm from the Banana Tree in Easton, Pa over 30 years ago.
I'm very happy to finally post some progress here in the B-org forum. Pics of flowering hands to come.

Super!

Might I suggest though that you do not take 30 years to eat the fruit.

We see from this that persistence does pay off! Nicely done, Dan!
