Default Finally got pics of my Ice Cream flower
Finally I was able to upload my pictures of my first flag leaf and flower from my Ice Cream. Since it took awhile to download off my camera I will show several dates of pictures. Just to make sure of what kind this is, by looking at the pics is this a Ice Cream(Blue Java) ?

08-03-10



08-07-10





08-11-10 You can start to see the fingers





And Finally 08-19-10







Sorry for so many pics at once but I had some catching up to do. I lost the cord to download from my camera. Thanks for looking.

Looks good but you may want to consider propping it before long.

I would have guessed Orinoco only because it looks exactly like mine which is also in flower now, first hand has 3 fingers on it but we have short season here no chance of having any harvest.

I can't tell if it's an IC, but I can say, even after the horible winter we had, we shall overcome!

Here's some updated pics as of 08-26-10







The bottom 4 hands, are they deformed or are those going to just fall off eventually?

It is much smaller than a full sized 'Ice Cream', so if you compare photos it looks different, but to me it looks like 'Ice Cream'.
