Ensete superbum?
Perhaps this should be in the Tiki Hut, but last night I was at a Thai restaurant up in the hills, and while I was casing the grounds in my usual way, amongst other nanas I saw a number of plants that looked very like ensete superbum. When I questioned Rosie the Thai cook, she said that the owner had brought them from Thailand, and she would ask if I could have a plant!!!! Naturally I didn't have my camera with me and will have to go back for my plant hopefully, and photographs. Now my question is - how likely is it that they are e superbum from Thailand, and is there anything else that they are more likely to be? I know, I know - without photos it is impossible to say, but what do you all think? hey! hey! Not that I'm excited or anything!

Re: Ensete superbum?
Cassie, There are some pictures of Superbums about 5 posts in on this thread.
Do they look the same?? I may have to keep an eye out for your Thai resturant when I visit  lolHardy Tropicals - View topic - The Ensetes are out.

Re: Ensete superbum?
No I hadn't Taylor and never seen one in the flesh (or should that be leaf?) before. Mark - they look very like Dave Brown's pictures from Singapore botanical gardens and are not huge plants - get in touch when you are here and we'll take you there!

Re: Ensete superbum?
Yep - I need to get back up into the hills (in daylight this time) with my camera! And to collect my promised plant! They are smallish and very different looking.
