Default Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

This one was sold to me as a Raja Puri, but it lacks red lining on the edge of its petioles, so it isn't that cultivar. Probably another Dwarf Orinoco. It doesn't have any leaves, but it's attached to an established mat for support, so I think it'll be fine. I'm hoping that the other two big pstems on the mat will quickly push out 8 or so leaves apiece and flower in early spring. It'd be pretty cool to have multiple bunches hanging from the same mat

Here's a pic of the emerging bunch:


Supposed Raja Puri on the left, supposed Double on the right (both probably DO's):
