How's this for a laugh
 

This company is selling musella lasiocarpa, but it's unlike any musella I've ever seen or grown. I got their catalog in the mail today, and they are advertising this as m. lasiocarpa. I think it may have been too close to a nuclear reactor! :ha:

Austin,

I checked out the photo in the link you listed. I don't see where they are calling it Musella anywhere, but it does sound like that's what they're talking about; however, as you pointed out, that is definitely NOT a Musella. Looks like a DC to me.

A catalog I recently got in the mail also advertises Musella but the picture is obviously a picture of some dwarf type such as Cavendish or Orinoco with a picture of a Musella flower photoshopped onto it. I'm not sure why they'd do this. Not that it really matters, but this is not a company that specializes in bananas! Buyer beware, as they say! :)

I like how the placed the ripe hand among the leaves. lol

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Bananaman, we must have gotten the same catalog. I was looking through it today and noticed they had probably a Cavendish banana with a musella lasiocarpa bloom on it like you describe. LOL. So I went to this company's website and the picture is totally different from the catalog. Both are obviously wrong. LOL. They certainly aren't banana growers.

Here's a pic of the catalog so everyone can see what we're talking about. It's the same company as the link above: www.dutchbulbs.com Someone's pretty good with Photoshop! I just wish they'd make up their mind. :ha:

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Do you think those flowers are superglued on? That's funny!!:p :p :p

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Nate,
They wouldn't superglue them as they had to replace the fruit with the Musella blooms! :ha:

They're the same Picture! Or at least taken within a few minutes of each other...

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Nope, just looked. SAME Picture! Look a the little girl's hair in the photo of Musella!

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

And I see her feet at the bottom of the musella pic! :ha:

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Austin, also note, the bunch of fruit is still on behind the flowers, HOW LAZY!

Good attempt though! :ha:

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Yeah, Taylor. That's hilarious. They tried a little. Now all they need is a parrot.

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Yes, that is the catalog I have! I'd never noticed the hair and shoes in the pic before. How funny!

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Good observation guys!!!! Maybe someone should e mail them and let em know what we discovered. Can you say False Advertising.:2201:

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

Also, the pot is crooked but the nana is strait. Hm, must just be reachin for sunlight. Some people.:ha:

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

This is amazingly ridiculous! But gave me a good laugh :D

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

i believe that is called false advertisment....i wonder how many people are actually gonna buy that tree and think they are gonna get bananas off of it...it is humorous. wrong but funny.

Re: How's this for a laugh
 

hhaha, that looks funny! what a liars are they...
it looks really fake, if you don't know anything about musas you can believe the musella but the other pic with that little girl...:P:P

if you look good you see that they used the same banana plant ...
thanks for the pics Austin


:D:D
