Well, cool! They may have a sister to my pup that hasn't yet bloomed but is supposed to do so at an unbelievably short stature.

I purchased mine by the side of the road. I asked if the banana tasted good; I asked if you cook them. The seller apparently didn't understand my questions; he just kept pointing at his waist and saying "bananas here". Perhaps he was saying it produced 3' fingers? Nah. Why he made that point I don't know but he was adamant about it and apparently considered it a special trait. BTW, I keep kicking myself for not buying some hot peppers native to his country; they would have given me greater insight as to variety of musa I suspect.
