Default Re: Banana IDs

I believe I also have this same plant, it appears to be an acuminata subsp. x Rhodochlamys hybrid, similar to Bordelon (which at this point is clearly acuminata subsp. zebrina x ornata or some other Rhodochlamys). Its very difficult to say with any certainty exactly which parents were involved, but I am fairly certain on the general makeup. You should post some flower pictures as it develops.
