BM's Making Room and Monsters !

Woopee!!! did it first time! that's last summers photo though, will have to start taking more

 

Hi oasis is that banana planted in the ground.Its a cracker

 

Hi no it's an Ensete maurellii, I have 2 both in pots, kept one in spare room over winter and the other in greenhouse. They are both outside again now and have a few leaves. Cut the leaves off for the winter otherwise too big to fit in anywhere.

 

My musa basjoos are even bigger than that! I have 4 planted in the ground and all have a couple of leaves, had to take the fleece off them a couple of weeks ago, also got a musa sikimensis.

 

This is last summer, one of my musas.

 

Wow thats what i call a cracker.I bought this at the wee k end.I also really really want a sikimensis

 

I really want a sikimensis next

 

Got my sikimensis which you can see a bit of the leaf in last pic from Mulu.co.uk only cost �£12 about 2 yrs ago, this is the 3rd summer commimg, it's now 4 and half feet without the leaf. My Ensetes I got last yr for �£12 from local garden centre ( not the one I work for).

 

This is view from sons bedroom window, again last summer.

 

I've been diddled!!!! :eek: :eek: I didn't get an attractive woman with mine!! Mind you, an attractive man would have been more use to me personally, but she might have helped with the housework!! :D :D :D

 

Thanks everyone, more pics to follow when the palms are in. :D Glad to see the back of the lawn, more planting space now :D Windy I have had that gnome for 14 years now. I found him in my garden in Portsmouth and I have had him ever since Nice bananas everyone, I am just off to start a bananas 2007 thread :D

 

Cool .i started gardening just last year now im hooked lol. I just love banana plants and want to collect them. up to now i have 2 basjoos.1 Musa valutina.And one musa Ensete maurellii.As i said i want a sikimensis next.

 

Has he got a name BM????? I think he looks like an Eric!!! :D
My flaming musa, not content with making me split my head open avoiding it at the top of the stairs, has got another new leaf!! :eek: Is now the right time to re-pot him?? And when can I get him outside??? It's like the Krapton Factor upstairs!!! :rolleyes: :D

 

Pot it up now and get it out! what was your musa doing inside anyway? you usualy just plant them in garden and wrap with fleece to keep warm, so it sprouts from top every year. Otherwise if you don't wrap it, it will die down but shoot again from the bottom, the roots are hardy. Can't wait for mine to flower, that'll give the neighbours something to talk about!

 

Lol i like that windy kripton factor.Verry nice oasis lovely
