Back to red bananas, rather than red and blue whatevers...

Ever seen Ruhuvia Chichi? Gabe got one during his travels around Micronesia (Solomon Isl?). Cool color, but I have no idea how it tastes.

I have a plant which I think is similar to 'Ruhuvia Chichi', but I did not bring back any plants from the Solomons. The plant I have is in fact the 'Kirkinan' displayed above which I received from the USDA. They still appear to be very closely related to me, and may prove to be the same, but I don't have a way of telling unless I could get both and grow them out.

I saw someone post this photo on Facebook today and did a search of the image. The earliest posting I could find of this photo was in 2010 at Wild banana in Luang Prabang ! - Samakomlao Main which said it was taken in Laos.

Harvey, wasn't that ruled to not be a banana at all. There is a bit of speculation on it on the previous page of this thread.

Brady, I read the prior page before posting and nobody seemed to know for sure what it was. I'm just giving an earlier reference to it in case the Laos location might help ID it. Anestor posted it as a banana again on Facebook so I was hoping someone would figure it out.

Of course u did. I was confused what that post was all about, and it makes more sense now. I too am interested to here what I is, a strange plant indeed.
