Ornamental bananas!

I have a collection of bananas. Does anyone else here have any? I could have easily put this in edibles aswell which I think I will do.

Hi Dean
Have you ever tried to grow Gunnera Manicata? It would probably do great in your climate. I will shortly have seeds from mine and would be more that willing to send some off to you as they ripen, as a "Welcome" gift.
PM me your address and I will get them off to you in the next few weeks.
Take care
Gary
