Rob, here you go. This is what I have as FHIA-18. I have no reason to doubt this ID (though I'd be hard pressed to distinguish it from FHIA-01). The bud is long at emergence (first bract was 27") and narrow, but seriously fattens up. The picture of the first bract that was covering fruit (bract 3) gives you an idea of just how big the inflorescence of this variety is -- massive. The p-stem is very thick at base, too.
