Speaking of the Siam Ruby, one of my bananas that IS coming back and was not labeled, might (a big might) be the Siam. I seem to remember last year, when my Siam pupped, the pup was a light/bright green at first, then "came into" it's purple color as it matured/grew. And that is what I'm seeing with one of my banana babies. The leaves are longer, brighter and pointier than my others coming back that I know are basjoos. If this is a Siam, and it is coming back, it will be nothing short of a miracle, because this pot was accidentally left on the deck, unprotected, all winter.
