This is the site that is selling them on ebay... so everyone doesn't have to bid the price up on ebay. I've bought from them before and they were a pretty good seller.

Thanks for the link, now I can finally see the variegation people keep telling me about!

slfairless · 09-22-2006, 12:56 PM

Do these really show even minor variegation when they mature? I've seen small ones and they were just small green banana plants.

momoese · 09-22-2006, 01:45 PM

If you go to the link you provided and click on the picture to enlarge it you can see some dark variegation on one of the leaves.

slfairless · 09-22-2006, 01:58 PM

I saw that but I'd also like to hear it from someone other than a person trying to sell it. Give me three minutes with photoshop and I can turn a basjoo into an AeAe

I've seen others about the same size as the one shown in that pic and they didn't show any variegation. I'd like to pick up a Namwa Pearl but I'd first like to understand if it's like cleopatra canna (some strains have puple/green striped foliage and others are all green) or if they all get a pearl variegation. The source could be the key

Oh wow, I checked the link for Eldon Access, and they cant be but 7 or 8 miles from me. I feel a trip coming up....

I just got mine from Eldon, I arranged for it to arrive today. I have to say I'm happy about it, the plant is small but true to the size posted on their website. I liked that the plants I received did show that slight faint variegation. I know some of the plants purchased on ebay last year was nothing more than a pale green banana. I decided to give it another try after seeing what I think was a fairly large specimen of what was described as a "Pearl." It was incredible, pure white new emergent leaves that would eventually fade into a slightly variegated green leaf banana. But somehow I doubt what I received will achieve that kind of incredible variegation.

AnnaJW · 09-23-2006, 02:48 AM

Halo,

If you visit them, I hope you'll give us a narrative of your visit!

Thanks for the info! I think it's definitely worth a shot

Got mine yesterday. I have to say it, it was very well-packed and about 6" tall without the pot. Now it's happily growing on my 1 gal. pot.

Thinking about getting another one.
