What the *"%&$ is that? I think I should fly across and pick up the pups.

Hey Alberto - I bought it in the USA and had it couriered over from Miami, as our postal service here is useless. There might be 1000 finger plants available in Venezuela either from plant growers or botanical societies, although the quick look online that I had didn't find any. Take a picture to a local plant nursery and you might be lucky!!

Sorry, IC. I don´t believe in luck, at least not the good type. So I won´t spend the rest of my life looking here. I can´t even find one person who´s TC´ing. If you remember where you bought that "monstruous yet wonderful
thing ", please let me know. Thanks, Alberto.

The bottom two pics are from Homestead..Going Bananas...we are laughing because I took a few pictures and Don said..wait wait..let me clean the bloom up first...so we furiously cleaned all the dead flower stems..off of...a thousand tiny bananas....

The first two pics are from our yard..and it was one stout pseudostem...the bananas actually ripened on the plant..we would go out each day and peel a few tiny bananas....it did get a little longer...

It's hard to believe from that small pod, there's going to be such a long raceme that will look like a very expensive ballroom chandelier. Good Job!!
