Well this post is a little late but it's been a crazy week here!
Shortly after the contest ended this beauty arrived at my house undamaged by the USPS ( they must have known it wan't an Ae Ae
)
It's already growing in the front porch which is heated to about 80F during the day and lighted by a Sun system 400 watt metal halide with a light mover that moves 6' every 20 minutes increasing the effective growing area quite a bit( and I push that some too
)
Here's the rest of the porch:
A couple of Surprises came along with it including a beautiful canna that's already growing( If my Ae Ae fails this will have to do!)...sorry for the bad close up.
Especially exciting was a hand of green immature Hawaiian apple bananas that we weren't sure would ripen so I put them back in the bag with and apple hopeful that it would help....
Sometimes you just get lucky, these will be my first taste of this Variety.
THANKS MITCHEL !!! (momoese)
