There's at least one more. M. lasiocarpa is planted quite a bit down there (now) and 'Bordelon' and I guess that's the balbisiana next to the 'Bordelon', but there is another one near the steps that lead down from the boardwalk. I think it is a sikkimensis or sikkimensis hybrid. The pseudostems are maroon on young plants and the leaves on young plants are also splashed with a little maroon as well. I have one grown from seed that I collected off of that one and in full sun the underside of the leaves are maroon as well even on large plants. The clump seems to be suffering right now, but a few years back the pseudostems were huge (30'?) and the leaves including petiole were something like 12' long.
