Very nice! Like so many others, I too have tried M. ingens seeds with no luck. So, you are the guy from Spain that sprouted two of them! And it took over a year? Alternating temps? What temps?

That 'PNG Highlands' banana looks really nice also. That would be pretty cool to see it flower, especially if it is Musa maclayi. They get over 30 feet tall, and the bloom and fruits are upright like M. velutina (except on a much larger scale)!

Thanks so much for posting those pics!
