This was meant to be a picture of the rain, as we don't get rain very often, but it's also a halfway decent picture of the bananas.

This is my ensete v. exactly one year old! I grew it from seed last year.

Once you get attached to your plant, you hate to see it bloom, for then it soon dies.

This is a young plant which doubled in size by the end of the summer.

This is a mature plant that has been grown in a pot so its growth has been retarded some what.

This one just came out of a 15gl pot - Santa Barbara

Taken 19th August 06. Bought in an 8" pot and repotted, it very quickly grew a new leaf and now has another with a 3rd making.

Denver Botanical Gardens, 30 September 2006. This is what strong sun and strong wind do to leaves. Green and shredded.

Purchased in 2005 in a 1 gallon pot, transplanted to the larger white pot. Then to this larger one May '06.

Two months after transplanting into larger pot, it added 2-3 feet of growth and increased it's girth, a happy camper for the new space!

I love this Ensete. It grows really fast, having pushed about 4 leaves in two weeks.

Highly dramatic plant even in the drama packed garden of Keeyla Meadows in Albany, California.

A focal point in any garden. Carries its own even among many other focal points in Keeyla Meadow's highly visual garden in Albany, California.
