Cool pics on that site! I didn't even see the pics until I scrolled down to the bottom and was reading the captions for Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. I was wondering where the figures were, lol! Had to scroll to the right a bit to see them. That Musa ingens picture is really neat. Heck, every picture of that species is neat.

I've got a few Musa maclayi supsp. maclayi var. maclayi seedlings in the greenhouse. They are slow, but healthy. Love the upright bunches on them! They get massive too, around 30 feet of pseudostem. I think I would be extremely lucky to ever see mine bloom.
