I've been into plants for many years, have recently chamged lifestyles which allows me to add to my collection.
The weather up here has been a tease recently, being in the 50s for a few weeks, and I've been looking forward to starting a new garden in my new residence. The weather will obviously soon drop to the 20s and I'll have to wait a few months to start.
I have a small Blood Banana(Musa Sumatrana) pup that is looking pretty bad and it's a bummer. I got it in the mail on friday. I'm hoping it perks up soon.
I have an extensive hosta collection up at my cottage.
Covered in tattoos, I don't really look like your typical horticulture guy, and get odd looks at garden shows and nurseries.
I hope this forum is a good place to talk plants and get help when I'm stumped.
If anyone has advice on my musa sumatrana, I'd love some.

I cannot help you with your banana. They grow like weeds here in So California and I'm more interested in how to get rid of them. But I wanted to welcome you to a great place to ask your questions and say hi. Some one around here may be able to help you out. ~Tina

Hi there donefortherest and welcome to the forum! No idea on your banan tree also but pop a question down in houseplants and I am sure that someone will be able to help you! I just discovered hostas this year and am looking forward to adding them to my new garden as well. Hope to see you hanging out around the forum.
