Just curious and thought others might want to share too.

In the past I have had....
Musa velutina
Musa sikkimensis
Musa cheesmani
Ensete sp. 'Thai superbum'
Unknown Musa from Bhutan

and recently....
More Musa velutina
Musa balbisiana
Unknown Musa from Papua New Guinea (probly M. ingens variety)

I have tried hundreds of seeds and probly around 30 species at least, and of all those only a handful ever germinated for me (im sure thats a common theme for many of us!)
