Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
It's been rainy and cold for the past month or so with no warm days in sight for the near future. American Goldfinger last year bloomed in April, but the entire bunch rotted away. Now I have 1 that...

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
It's cold, rainy, windy, and snowing in the nearby mountains. Some of the fingers have already been sunburned, and the leaves are brown at the edges. It's supposed to be cold and rainy for the...

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
Thank you!
What's interesting is that 9b in Northern California is completely different from 9b in Florida: we're talking temperate climate versus subtropical. We rarely see days over 70F during...

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
Unfortunately, my Aeae is pushing out a flower bud in the beginning of December. It's probably no more than 5' of p-stem, and there's close to no chance of this flower making it to...
