Mine taken years ago of Musa laterita.


Theirs, erroneously shown as a picture for "Musa 'Mannii' (Indian Dwarf)". They however do a bit of touch up!

Hey Gabe, I have heard from one nurseryman that you know you must be doing something right when others start stealing your work, lol.

Will you please tell the powers that be at Agri-Starts that their "Musa itinerans" has actually been positively identified by Markku Hakkinen as Musa yunnanensis? I've gotten rarepalmseeds.com to change the name, but haven't really talked to anybody else about it. It's going to get really confusing in a few years when the real Musa itinerans becomes more common and available in the trade. Thanks, buddy.

P.S. Really nice picture, btw!
