Yeah, I've never heard that Orinoco was in any way similar to Ice Cream. Orinoco is a cooking banana (unless very ripe) from what I've read and Ice Cream is a dessert banana. From what I've read/seen of Orinoco, it's a pure green plant (mature or immature) and the fruit is very angular when immature. Ice Cream, from my experience, has no red markings whatsoever on leaves (mature or immature), has a pinkish/waxy pstem when immature, has pink outlines on leaves and pinkish petioles (more pink when young). It has a lot more color to the plant than any pic of Orinoco I've seen. Hope that helps a little.
