Default Re: Musa ornata 'aurea' (orange)

It's not Musa coccinea or M. beccarii. Not M. ornata either, for that matter. Wish I knew! It actually looks a lot like what rarepalmseeds.com was selling as Musa ornata 'Orange Flower' not too long ago. I managed to get two of those seeds to sprout, and one is still alive and doing OK. It also looks a whole lot like the Musa rubinea 'Orange' on the Nature Products website.

It's definitely NOT M. aurantiaca either!
