Hey Eric, I was just wondering what your source was for your original Musa banksii plant? The bud on yours is a very dark purple/maroon color. The pics I have seen online of Musa banksii have yellow-green buds, but I have seen references to "some forms" having the purple or maroon buds.

By the way, did you ever get seeds? Musa banksii has basal hermaphrodite flowers, so you should get some without another flower open.
