The picture in the ad has been posted here several times before. I know, because I posted the first one. It is, in fact, a Musa Thousand Fingers and is not uncommon here in the US. Even if the plant for sale is variegated, it still wouldn't make it an Ae'-Ae.

Here is the picture:

Just put a bid on it, kind of cold here but, worth a shot.

Hey guys, cheack out this website;

www.neofarmthailand.com

They seem to have the stuff you all are talking about. The 1,000 Fingers is like only 450b, like usd$ 14!
...and Scot... your Musa gracilis is like 180b, usd$ 5.50!
I am asking a friend in Bkk to get me a bunch of stuff from there. If you have the contact to get it from the research station outside Bkk, the 1,000 Fingers only cost about usd$3.00. I just got 2 through a friend.:ha:

Wow, that's cool, but I think what they are calling Gracilis is actually Zebrina.
Lots of nice stuff though. Thanks!!!
