New Siam Ruby
 

OK so I am ordering some Musa Margarita (chartreuse yellow Siam Ruby). If interested the TC will be available by early May for shipping I will have pictures in a week or 2. I am thinking $15 + shipping

Very interesting Chris. Yellow SR, I have yet to hear about it. Where did it originate from? Please keep us posted. Thanks!:ha:

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Put me down for one.......THANKS!

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Agristarts was able to ID the trait and replicate it

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Im up for one or two keep me posted

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Thanks again Chris. Checked their site and saw it on their listing. Good man, you getting it sorted out for the people here. Keep up the good work.:ha:

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

please put me on the list also :woohoonaner:

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Chris, I was just looking at these yesterday on the Agristarts website. Unless I am reading it incorrectly, these are like $1.00 per plantlet, minimum order of 72, plus shipping. If shipping and handling comes to $28 (assumption for round numbers) that's $100. for 72 plants, or around $1.39/plantlet. How do you come up with $15/plant, plus shipping?

Am I missing something?

Scot,

You are not missing anything aside from getting incorporated and sending them your tax id info and raising 72 plants of which 15% perish over the next 4 months. If you feel the price is not fair I am sure Stokes or Plant Delights will be offering them before long. Of course then you would be going outside the family.

Thanks for your reply.

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Chris, Agri-Starts does not require its customers to incorporate. When I spoke to them previously about purchasing something from them, they did not even mention needing my Taxpayer I.D. or Employer Identification Number.

Do you have any photos of what larger versions of these plants look like?

put me down for 2 please....and so it begins again

Agristarts told me they would have some in about a month or so, they are in there busy season right now so it may be a little longer.

I don't think Margarita is the same as the yellow form Siam Ruby, because they're offering them separately as "siam Yellow" at a different price. I have a few of the margarita coming. Maybe Ty will speak up here if he reads this and let us know.

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

p.s. Siam yellow isn't new. It's the ones that don't turn out as red ones during tissue culture.

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Sandy,

Correct Siam yellow just has a yellow flower with green leaves :(
Margarita sounds really unique

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

I ordered a few of the Margarita, coming with my next order. But I haven't seen a picture or even a description of them. I just saw they had a new one I hadn't grown yet...They should be herein the next week or so, It's been too cold for them to ship here, so they're holding my order. I don't think they're going to be all that special, or else they'd be asking more $$ for them....lol....

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

I spoke to Ty about these and this is what he told me:

Re: New Siam Ruby
 

Oh yellow is definitely the color of 2009. Just look at the leaves on pretty much all my plants right now!! :ha:
