New leaf unfurling, I've the new pot to post for suggestions for filling it in. I love the uniform nature of this exotic (to us in Alaska) beauty.

Beautiful. It's exotic to us too. Difficult to grasp that you are growing it where you live.

Thanks Lori, I'm hoping everything holds out, my balast was out this morning, so no light! AHHHHH!

OH MY GOOONNESS! making a quick trip to town are we?

Balast is the transformer that powers my light. It was a burnt fuze, so all fixed. I was afraid everything would get a forced winter. I had to get through work and throw in a greenhouse visit to get it fixed. So glad it was nothing major!
I was thinking six or seven feet, but then I saw a banana fruiting on delonix page and thought, oh my, it was very large. Flcrazy had one flower at about six feet, I can't let it go beyond that......maybe :-)

They die after fruiting...sad. :-(

Oh, I hope it spreads enough to have some new shoots to start up after the fruit than. Thats what I'm expecting.

Its dark green with some purple variegation, the flash washed out the green on its smooth surface. I liked how it enhanced the veining of the leaf. Without the flash my lamp turns it a flat orangy. :-)
Thanks Marguerite :-)
