My name is Jarred, and I'm the founder of this community.
These are my bananas:
Kru
1,000 fingers
Williams
Apple
Ice cream (blue java)
Rose
Mysore
Goldfinger
Pink
Zebrina
Dwarf Red
Cavendish...and some others that need to be ID'd.

As we stray from bananas, I have both orange bird of paradise as well as the much taller white birds, plus several types of heliconias, plumerias, gingers, palms, hibiscus, passiflora, cacti, bamboo, ornamental grass, aloes, and ferns.
In the works are two additional collections. One is of freshwater flora, and the other is of coral, coralline, anemonies, and other photosynthesizing marine life.

As progress is made in my collections, I will be sure to update everyone.

I look forward to meeting others with similar interests.
And so Bananas.org was created.

Hi Cliff,
I have some lobsterclaw heliconias that I could seperate and mail you some rhizomes (with stems). I also have some extra plumeria cuttings salvaged from around the neighborhood the day after Hurricane Katrina that I havent planted yet and could spare.
Let's talk in the PMB (private message board), ok?
