Thanks Elaine. It truly is a beautiful banana (camera does no justice), I hope for a variegated pup (so far notta). Will throw a couple of pictures of the Philly and offspring later on this evening.

Last fall, I hired a guy to help me double dig that area Alice. We placed mushroom c., cow m. and compost from my bin in there. That area is around 20' x 8'. This clay we have in the piedmont is really compact as you know. I would like to have 60% / 40%, your soil to mine (after the composts). You could grow anything in that.

I would like to see some of everyones gardens one day! I see so many beautiful plants and I am envious of your zonal temperatures.

I know Florida is pulling me like a magnet because there is so much I want to grow and nearly all of it is tropical in nature! Being born on the Gulf Coast, well..., It's kinda hard to explain to the average person (not saying you guys are average mind you!).

Love it, and what a great variegated plant... What's that name again Alice?

Got this on E-bay with 2 leaves and three aerial roots a little over an inch long
