"Dwarf" Orinoco (it's 9.5' to the top of the peduncle) and Goldfinger (small at 7.5') are the first two to bloom for me. Unfortunately, it looks like the Goldfinger isn't going to make any fruit for me -- it didn't make any female flowers. This plant has had nutritional problems (boron deficiency and too little nitrogen), so I guess I'm not surprised. Maybe I'll get it right next year!

Here's a sequence of photos for the dwarf Orinoco:
