All my celebrating occurred on the July 5th.

Darkman · 07-12-2010, 08:44 PM

The Forth was a great day but I was anxious to get it over because I received an invite to come over and get some Banana plants from Hydroid. I assumed he had some pups as he said he had some mats he needed to thin. Boy was I wrong. By the time he was through I needed a bigger truck. Hydroid is the man. A very generous man and excellent conversationalist. My wife and I had a wonderful day even though it was raining steadily. After digging he and his gracious wife invited us in, even though we were soaking wet, to warm up and dry off. We enjoyed a great cup of coffee and a great visit with he and his wife.

We planted some of the Bananas in a bed with southern exposure in front of our house. On the left is Ice Cream and center is Saba with Goldfinger on the right. July 6th, 2010 1617

Here are some more from Hydroid planted again with a southerly exposure on my side yard. In the background is a Raja Puri that I received from SBL another generous man who gave me this and some other nice plants. In front of the Raja Puri is a Willaims hybrid. Next is a Ladyfinger and in the front is a Orinoco.

Awesome!

Darkman · 07-12-2010, 08:50 PM

My new Ladyfinger comes with two pups and the old corm which hopefully will give up a few more.

Hydroid gave me four Orinocos some with pups.

Big O with her pups.

Very healthy Willaims hybrid.

Darkman · 07-12-2010, 08:55 PM

Mama Saba with pup.

Not quite sure what this is but it sure grew fabulously in Hydroids yard.

Raja Puri given to me by SBL. Another generous member that gave me several other very nice plants.
