I am hoping to get my "other" plants pics tomorrow, including my palms, ee's, as well as all others. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I have that you are thinking is a giant red crinum... I would love to have one or so, but I do not currently have any crinums...

Randy, you are indeed a very talented gardener. I like how you've really grown your collection of hardy tropicals over the years. It's great to see how our gardens have progressed. Take care, my friend.

Randy, it must be very windy there because your hat keeps blowing around the yard. But seriously, Excellent job growing some fine bananas!

Chris,
I remember seeing the first two pics a while back. The last is nice. Looks like it has recovered and started growing for you. Mine are only about two feet tall right now, but after looking at pics of them last year, August and September is when they really started putting on the growth. Guess they need alot of extra heat!
Your place is looking like a mini plantation!!! Keep us posted throughout the rest of the growing season to its progress.

It is looking NICE!!! Thanks for the update. Mine are really starting to push out good growth. They are all about 4' with huge leaves. Should really jump within the next couple of weeks. I will try and remember to take a pic of them in a week or two... Again, thanks for updating me on its progress.
