FHIA-01 Goldfinger blooming

MediaHound · 05-21-2007, 08:59 PM

I'll update the thread as the bunch progresses, but I am happy to announce the arrival of my FHIA-01 Goldfinger flag leaf!

That's a small hill behind the plant, it's hard to tell from the photo. The two plants behind it are pups that were cut and moved back to form a row, each about three feet from the previous.

This was a TC, it's about two years old now.
This was the plant about a year ago (I have since removed the ficus):

Yessss!

Greenie · 05-22-2007, 10:15 PM

nice!

Kenzie_POM · 05-22-2007, 11:57 PM

Way cool. Beautiful. Looking forward to pictures of the fruit. I have high hopes for mine this year. I was able to get six pups off of the first Goldfinger I bought. Planted five and gave away one. Wish us luck. They are all growing fast.

Very nice Jarred
The bananas are looking great.

Man I need to move to a warmer zone,

MediaHound · 05-23-2007, 02:12 PM

Thanks for the kind words everybody!

Kenzie, I was able to get about as many pups off of mine before it started blooming. You sound like you're in the final stretch with yours, too. Luck!

BGreen - come on down! I got a vacant place you can rent out, it's got a huge yard and was just remodeled! lol

MediaHound · 05-26-2007, 12:33 PM

Just took these photos, progress is fantastic.
We should be seeing the hands soon!

momoese · 05-26-2007, 12:59 PM

Jarred, could you post a pic showing the whole plant and maybe get your dog in there again for size comparison?

MediaHound · 05-26-2007, 01:46 PM

ok brb

AnnaJW · 05-26-2007, 01:47 PM

Beautiful! Both the plant and the dog!

MediaHound · 05-26-2007, 01:55 PM

Thanks Anna!

momoese · 05-26-2007, 03:02 PM

Awesome! Thanks Jarred.

MediaHound · 05-26-2007, 09:22 PM

Just checked on it again... it's totally horizontal now.
Tomorrow by the end of the day it should be hanging downwards.

Looks like the flower is pretty hefty! Should grow you a nice bunch.

Jarrod,

Beautiful plant, but the dog is beautiful too. Reminds me of my dog as a kid.
