I bought the cape smoke primer as well to help.
Does anyone know for sure what these seeds are? When I asked Jim at Seedman.com if he new what they were, he said he didn't know any more than what the supplier told him and labeled it as.

I am confused because I keep seeing several different names used seemingly interchangably, namely Mekong Giant, Giant Yunnan Banana, itinerans gigantea and xishuangbannaensis, possibly one or two more that all seem to be referencing possibly the same thing??

Anyone have any plants from these seeds old enough to get an idea of what they might be?
