Well, none of them have come back yet, so it's a tie, lol. When I cut through the pseudostem near the base, in what seemed like solid pseudostem, the Orinocos looked to have the most living tissue. After a day though, all three of them look pretty much the same. None of them look like they will come back from the pseudostem, because they have rotten centers. It still remains to be seen if any of them will sprout back from the corm.
