Namwah and Blue Java
I know pictures comparing the two have flooded this site but here's what I have going on in my back yard. They are more distinctly different than I thought they would be. Looks like 100 fingers on the Blue.

Re: Namwah and Blue Java
Not Blue Java / Ice Cream. Would definitely have a blue-grey color. Judging bythe small number of hands, might be an Orinoco

Re: Namwah and Blue Java
Never say never but I'm fairly certain that's a blue Java. Understand it was a pup this time last year. One never knows but I'd place a fairly good wager if for no other reason the integrity of the grower.

Re: Namwah and Blue Java
Looks like you got about seven hands on your Blue Java. That's pretty good for a first year plant lacking the power of an established corm or a mother plant for nutrients. I get 10-12 hands per plant with 14-16 fingers per hand. The fingers gradually turn a blue over about six weeks. I had an early season single handed bunch that turned from an initial green to blue to eventually almost white before turning yellow.

Yea mine is about 6' had to start from the ground but have a few small pups, hopefully I can keep the pups down and get something off the main stem before winter.
