Kind of late in the year so we will see how she does, Dwarf Orinoco starting to bloom! YAY!!!! pstem is about 7 ft . Saw the pre flag pop up about a week ago at 1/2 the size of the other leaves so i was hoping this baby was on the way!


happy growing,
Darla

John this banana was identified by Ty and some of the other vetran org members a few years ago as a dwarf Orinoco. Of course now as its blooming if it turns out to be a Dwarf Namwa that fine too !!!

What is every bodys thoughts Dwarf Namwa or Dwarf Orinoco

happy growing,

Darla

Cool Darla! Congratulations!

I have a Dwarf Orinoco blooming as well. I call mine the hydro banana. It's growing in a 28 gallon aquaponics grow bed. 3 hands showing so far.

Congratulations. You will find out soon if it is an Orinoco or Namwah. No way to mix those two up once you have a flower and fruit bunch.
