ID Help!
Dear Org,
I need an ID on the bunch in the photo below. Background I received this plant as a Dwarf Brazilian however I don't think that's accurate as the bracts fall off the bud and Dwarf Brazilians retain their bracts. The plant has flowered two times previously during the winter under the frost cloth but those flowers didn't make it. Flowering height has been 5', 6', and this year under ideal conditions at 7'4". The lower pstem is thick for its height like a dwarf. In the fourth pic below the subject plant is the right plant of the two plants in the center of the pic. The plant to the left is its pup. The far left plant is my Florida Platinum (RP) and the far right plant photo bombing the pic is a Dwarf Orinoco. Thanks! |

Re: ID Help!
Any chance this could be an American Goldfinger? That's all I got on this one.

Re: ID Help!
The bud doesn’t seem particularly or obviously heart shaped to me. I took a more recent photo and will post it this evening. The true FHIA-1 GF has a very heart shaped bud but my understanding is the off-types referred to as American Goldfinger are all over the place.
Probably not a GF but this place is a bit dusty and needs to get stirred up! Thanks for your comment. |

Re: ID Help!
I just saw this post. It looks a lot like my "Dwarf Brazilian." Got it from a well-known member here and it seems to match several of the descriptors of the type but it doesn't have the trademark messy rachis. Does anyone know if perhaps there is some off type D.Brazilian that for whatever reason has bracts that fall off? Or any other ideas as to what this might be?

Re: ID Help!
Thanks 75. Yeah, it does kind of look like yours. Before I cut off the bud it looked exactly like yours and the the bananas have a bit of the pin wheel look to them too.
The messy brachis is kind of a big identifier for the Dwarf Brazilian and Raja Puri. Maybe these plants are one of the FHIA types or an FHIA off-type. I recall the Dwarf Brazilian is one of the contributing parents to a few of the FHIA plants either directly or through an intermediary and a lot of those plants are floating around.

Re: ID Help!
What do the fruit taste like? Just like Rajapuri? That's how Dwarf Brazilian taste.
Aside from the lack of retained bracts on the rachis, most of the traits match DB pretty closely, but I've never seen a DB without retained bracts. |
