Joy Re: Hi all from Athens-Greece
Hi John and welcome to the board! If you are interested in seeds look at the Species Banana Forum, there is a thread regarding this. I enjoy very much growing my 'naners from seeds. It gives me great satisfaction when they mature and fruit. Hope to hear more from you soon!

Welcome aboard! Bob's right - you'll end up with a huge collection. I've got about 300 plants of 10 or so varieties at the moment, and I'm always looking to expand.

The cycad is also a beautiful specimen. Plants just seem to make any landscape so much more enjoyable.
