A red midrib is not a trait of the Manzanos that I grow.

If you have an interest in red midribs, start a thread asking members to submit photos & data.
Keith I think you got distracted from my actual question. I was never identifying anything based on a red midrib, that was Dan that said his morados looked like the banana in question based on the bud + the red midrib. I was asking which variety(s) have a yellow tip on the petals of the emerging female flower. I kept harassing because I never got an answer to what type of nanner that was. The last pic of Eds manzano was the most vibrant red on a banana I have seen, so I figured it at least warranted a comment.
