Dwarf Namwah

Dwarf Namwah is enjoying the warm spring sun. Her leaves are getting bigger and I may have to re-pot her soon.

Princess and Pippy the Peeper

Princess has grown. Pippy the Peeper is growing. She is definitely a sword sucker because she's got narrow leaves.

Zena the Zebrina

Zena the Zebrina is a new banana. I really don't know what type of plant she is. The associate at Home Depot says it is a red banana. My research indicates that it may be a red rowe banana or some type of zebrina banana. It is not supposed to be an edible banana plant.

Olivia the Banana

I don't think that I have named this banana before. Olivia was separated from Mother Plant some time in November 2011. She has grown tremendously and now sports two pups. Olivia is about the same age as Fanny the Follower.

Mystery Banana

Mystery Banana is looking good. She is not increasing her height as rapidly as before because the petioles and leaves droop, making it difficult to discern how much the plants have grown.

Marquita

Marquita has really grown. It is hard to believe how little and slow-growing she was at the beginning. Now she has caught up with her litter mates. Now all she needs is to produce a pup.

Mother Plant and Fanny the Follower

Mother Plant's pseudostem is getting wide. The picture does not do her justice. I'm still hoping for bananas. Fanny the Follower has grown too.

Regina the Reluctant

Regina is no longer reluctant. She has a 1-inch peeper peering through the soil.
