There is nothing special growing in our garden - a couple of trees and flowers around the house. We put ourselves artificial grass https://www.artificialgrass-manchester.co.uk/, so we don't need to waste time on the real one. We grow beautiful roses of different varieties. I like pink roses most of all, so there are more of them than the others. If we are talking of the trees, we have two beautiful large oaks in front of the house and two apple trees in the backyard. Our back yard is also fenced off from other children. We are certainly not greedy people, but I don't particularly appreciate it when people go to my plot without asking and steal my apples.

Got this Kokopo Short Cycle last year in a 4" square pot from a local green house, probably a T.C. I think it's a quick cycle too.

Orinoco choke, and guess what popped out.



It put out a couple of hands and the males started falling off.



But it wasn't done yet I guess.

Iowa, that is awesome! Congratulations!

The only time I have seen male flowers revert back to female is on a Mysore, and on a Monthan. You might have a Monthan there..... But I'm not sure.

Another Dwarf Cavendish bunch has emerged. 9.5 hands...



...but the impressive part is the top hand. 33 fingers! Never seen anything like it.
