Default FHIA-01 Goldfinger blooming
I'll update the thread as the bunch progresses, but I am happy to announce the arrival of my FHIA-01 Goldfinger flag leaf!







That's a small hill behind the plant, it's hard to tell from the photo. The two plants behind it are pups that were cut and moved back to form a row, each about three feet from the previous.

This was a TC, it's about two years old now.
This was the plant about a year ago (I have since removed the ficus):


Yessss!

Way cool. Beautiful. Looking forward to pictures of the fruit. I have high hopes for mine this year. I was able to get six pups off of the first Goldfinger I bought. Planted five and gave away one. Wish us luck. They are all growing fast.

Thanks for the kind words everybody!

Kenzie, I was able to get about as many pups off of mine before it started blooming. You sound like you're in the final stretch with yours, too. Luck!

BGreen - come on down! I got a vacant place you can rent out, it's got a huge yard and was just remodeled! lol

Jarred, could you post a pic showing the whole plant and maybe get your dog in there again for size comparison?

Just checked on it again... it's totally horizontal now.
Tomorrow by the end of the day it should be hanging downwards.

ok so this Goldfinger plant is now the subject of a contest!

Pisang Klotek Contest!

That link above will take you to the contest.

In a nutchell, this is the contest:
Guess the amount of edible banana fingers this bloom will produce, and if you're right, you win an extremely rare Pisang Klotek sword pup from momoese's mat.



Check it out!

Jarrod,

Beautiful plant, but the dog is beautiful too. Reminds me of my dog as a kid.
