I got up early in the rain and headed 2 hours south of Charleston to the Savannah Bamboo and Coastal Gardens Fall Festival. Its about 2 minutes from I-95, exit 94, a quick and easy trip.

I got there right when it opened at 9am and headed for the banana section.
This was the view from my parking place:

I knew they sold some plants off every fall. I wanted to see what types had done well there and pick up a few more for my zone. I got a little closer.

I headed towards the tent and saw buckets full of plants.

Nearly every bucket had a different variety.

I picked up 5 @$20 each.
FHIA-1 Sweetheart
FHIA-3 Goldfinger
FHIA-25
FHIA-18
Belle

The volunteers dug the FHIA-25 for me. If you saw a variety they did not have in the buckets, they would dig it for you. Great folks down in Savannah!

For what its worth, Dr. Greg Fonsah or Dr. Richard Wallace were not there, nor were there any Viente Cohols or any of the ornamental varieties available.
