Re: Breeding with giants - The Variegated Tani

Re: Opinions on the price of variegated bananas
I think the prices of the variagated bananas are absolutely ridiculous. I wont pay those prices personally. I think its another fad buy and will go the way of the tulip craze/bubble of the 1600s....

Re: Bordelons!
You gave me one, and I do agree with you. Mne is still growing fine, but it is smaller than other specimens of Bordelons I have seen. It wont grow taller than 4 feet, and the leaves are shorter too.

Re: Almost Naked Orinoco Bloom
