I gave my mom some pups today
 
My mom has been growing Orinoco exclusively for 20+ years since I was a kid.
She really likes that I got into this hobby, every time she comes over we take a walk in my backyard to check out all my bananas to see their growth/progress.

She recently told me she's always wanted to grow Plantain, lucky for me last year I was able to find a grower in Puerto Rico to sell me a corm and ship it to me and it survived the winter storm.

Check out this plantain pup with a huge chunk of corm I dug for her



I also gave her a couple of nice Dwarf Cavendish pups



I'm super stoked! We're going to have to take turns taking a look at each others bananas now:woohoonaner:

Oh yeah and you better believe I'm going to try and convince her to grow more varieties once the rest of mine pup :ha::ha::ha:

Too cool. My Mom was a florist (great designer) and a gardener. I was never in to it. I wish she were alive to see what I'm having fun with these days. Treasure the times.

That's awesome, nothing like sharing a passion with family. And those are some very nice looking pups. Your mom is lucky to have a direct supplier:08:

I am trying to convince my mom to take a basjoo pup...I would even take care of it for her. She loves baked fish and uses a ton of tinfoil in that pursuit. My wife suggested she try banana leaves instead....heck yeah!! We might convince her yet!

I have no doubt your mom would be very proud!! And probably a little envious;-)

Banana leaves are amazing! My mom has always used them to make tamales!

I gave her yet another new pup today - Super Dwarf Cavendish
I transplanted my SDC to a much bigger pot with her help and was amazed at how HUGE the corm was. Check out the big chunk of corm, it's a winner :08:



Bonus: I also transplanted my Truly Tiny and cut off one of it's 'Tiny' pups
I'm going to try growing this one indoors as a bathroom houseplant :08:
