Now, the only problem, is that my post this afternoon doesn't really make sense but since it's been replied to (and quoted in a readily apparent manner), it wouldn't be right to delete it.

Can we interrupt this discussion with a photo of the banana in question??????

Thanks again,

Since I have quite a few Margaritas now, I can say with conviction that this is the same plant that I got the first time I received my original "Siam Ruby" in April of 2007. Here is the photo of the plant then:


In June, 2007, I received a replacement plant from Brian, and here is a side by side comparison of the two plants.

My caveat with the second picture when I posted it then, goes: "Side by side comparison of last week's arrival and last April's shipment. The Siam Ruby "Green" is actually lighter yellow-green, but because the photo was taken with my Fuji S9000, it came out a little darker green than it actually is. Fuji digital cameras, like the Fuji films produces photos that favor green heavily compared to others.(June 20, 2007)"

If you can imagine the above description "lighter yellow-green", that would be "Chartreuse". And that is what I have now.
