cmsally Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Seen something similar in Chiang Mai growing in a garden (slightly narrower leaves and not so much red) so it is probably sold at Kamthieng market in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I've bought from them and been very happy with not only the purchases but the service. They tend to do larger sales and not a few plants here and there but since they have a fabulous selection of plants its not hard to rack up the charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 ^^^^ expensive to deliver to your island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 No, EMS. Very reaonable and quite quick. All starts survived and so far, I am quite happy. Ordered heliconias from them a few years ago, and now have several large stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just in from HP. "Good morning and thank you for your inquiry ! Yes, we still have a couple of these Musa – Siam Ruby however is a very different plant with green leaves. This one is “Thai Red” . I can sell a plant to you for 500 – 1000 baht, depending on the size. Right now my assistant is not here as she went to Sri Saket. So you would have to wait for few days until she is back. The small nursery is near Rama 9 Road ( the larger one is in Chiang Mai ) You can go there yourself next week or we can also deliver to your place. We also have some soil there which you can use for your containers." 500-1000bt .. Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 At last, my Siam Rubies arrived tonight....... 4 healthy specimens. Will post some pix if I can find the <deleted> cable for downloading from the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Update: Vendor delivered the above after sundown. At daybreak I discovered they were not SRs but Abasynnian(sp) Reds. Anyone want one? Have finally tracked down some SRs in Ratchaburi province but cannot collect until the 8/8. Not cheap......Fingers crossed BTW, my Thai friend tells me that there is a "Banana Expo" at JJ Market from 8/8 to 16/8. There should be some exotic Musas on sale as well as the Musa Siam Ruby. cheers gd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
