I just got this nanner from Chris in Tampa at the end of June, and potted it up and it is ready to send me its first flower!!! The overall height of this Laterita is only about 3', so you can guess how surprised I was when I saw the flag leaf last week. The thing is even sent out 3 pups to the edge of the pot!!! I just wanted to post a pic of it and show it off and to thank Chris, publicly for all the cool things he sent up to a few of us in SE TN!!!
Please disregard the other bloom in the background in the second pic... My Parrot's Beak Heliconia is blooming also, and I forgot to remove from pic. (SORRY)
