Camillenoir;
PLEASE do keep taking photos as the flower and fruit progress and post to this thread......Do you notice any other differences in the plant? such as thickness of the Psuedostem, or height, or length and/or width of leaves and petioles?
It does seem that this type is NOT Aeae, and I hope that someone here may take notice of any subtle differences in order to possibly ID it, or not; but maybe in the end to know that it may indeed be a new variegated form of banana and NOT Aeae. Thanks so much for posting these photos!
Personally I dont give 2 sh*ts if it is chemical or radiation induced variegation; If I had the means to do that I would be variegating everything! It is strange that this particular type is said to come from Florida as I have never seen it available in Florida either from other collectors or in the nursery trade. I have a feeling that perhaps Aeae was taken to Thailand and 'named' "Florida", and then was confused along the way with another variegated form introduced from somewhere else as the coloration on the leaves look identical.
