It sounds like the cross did not work, I hate to break it to you. I'm not saying I'm 100% right, but it is much more likely they are normal.

As you know, M. velutina self pollinates and does so very quickly, in order to avoid this you must dig into the flowers before they open and remove the stamens before the pollen is formed.

Banana pollen (in previous studies) lasts about 3 days in refridgeration (not sure about freezing other than deep freezing, but 2 weeks seems like a long time).

M. velutina germinates very easily and grows very quickly so you will know for sure soon (they can flower in 4-5 months from seed). And although not nessacerily a certain fact, but in The Evolution of the Bananas by Simmonds, when he crossed velutina and basjoo (both directions) it always failed and there were never any plants produced.
