OMG, you obviously have some sort of banana developmental delay.Immediately run out and get the Zebrina. Then you can debate on the DC until next week.

If I admit that, had they had a nice selection of basjoo, I'd have a small stand facing the bamboo right now...

They labelled the DC as "Cold Hardy" though. I think that alone shocked me into laughter and might have broken the spell. When I lived in Gainesville, FL, I had one near the gate of my marginally protected courtyard. In that courtyard, I successfully overwintered tomatoes and hot peppers for a second year of production (a third year was pushing it and lead to some interesting diseases), but my DC was reduced to a poor re-annual.

The Zebrina...My guy is going under the impression that we might, with plenty of patience, eventually get a small bunch of bananas that will make everything worth while. Though he'd have happily bought me a banana tree (and he offered), I couldn't shake his beliefs by bringing home a purely ornamental. Even the Truly Tiny has a glimmer of hope if you read the add copy. (Though, the realist in me bought Dwarf Orinocos too.)

Yeah, I might have to have that DC. It's about 2 ft at the pseudostem already and only costs $13. I sure couldn't get it shipped for that.

Beware store bought hibiscus drinks. I had one so red that it dyed my hands while mixing and (a gallon later) gave me the migraine to end all migraines. But, wow, was it tasty.

We had to go back to Lowes for some odds and ends. I glanced at the bananas on the way through to fence materials. There were a lot fewer plants than last weekend. One of them had put itself on two for one sale by pupping. Soooo...

I have a Dwarf Cavendish and pup on my front porch along with the two Dwarf Orinocos and the Truly Tiny in the metal hanging basket.

Just how many bananas before I have to start looking out for the men in white coats?
