The female flowers on my DBs tend to have no reddish, so they look different than mine.

Rob, I think that's a climate thing. Mine do have red/pink and are definitely DB. Keppler and Rust claim that female flower color distinguishes DB from Rajapuri, with Rajapuri having red/pink female flowers and DB not having that color. That may be true in Hawaii, but not here where it is cooler, where they both have colorful female flowers.

DB in Ventura:

If this is the first time this plant has flowered for you, that is quite good. At least by the standards of how they do in my neighborhood.

Michael,

I know other posters have different results.....

BUT

You better have a plan to keep at least six leaves green and happy or I don't think they'll survive.

I feel your pain. This morning one of my Goldfingers (or whatever it is) sent up a half leaf and flag. If I am crazy enough (it's flagging at five foot) I could dig it all up, pot it in a 45 gallon pot and put it in my living room.

Also the bunch on my tall Tall Namwah on the front of the house is completely yellow. Will take the P-stem tomorrow!

Good Luck!!!!

Congrats, I think I have the third Caligold sending up a a flag, so hopefully my plan will bear some fruit.. :^)
