Would you believe I got an early (or maybe on time) shipment of my order for Texas Star banana plants from Ty Ty Nursery, GA? Came home from work this afternoon and found this box in front of the door:
I ordered (3) 1-year Offsets and (1) 3-gallon Mother plant, but I got (3) 1-year Offsets,
(2)! Mother plants, 1 large extra corm, and 2 small extra corms!
The two large Mother plants are showing growths while en route during the 1-week trip from Ty Ty, GA:
The extra corm and extra Mother plant. The Mother plant is also sporting new root growths.
The large Mother plant showing a healthy pup and new root growths. While potting this plant, I noticed there were two other pups on the other side.
It was not a major leap of faith when I ordered these plants. It was just the shear suspense of waiting for someone who has one that I can buy this plant from. With the weather getting cooler here in the Seattle area, I just decided to send an order in, hoping that my previous experience with them would be repeated. Well, I'm sure glad that I did. Now, I only hope that they are in fact the Texas Star banana that I ordered, and not some ornamental banana like Joe Real got several years ago. Since I am batting 3 out of 3 so far, there is a great chance that it would be true.
