So to answer your question it is the camera angle and my picture is very early in the bloom cycle; but the blooms/fruit look the same. I will take some pictures tomorrow for you.

Nomenclature with bananas is tough. I have come across reference to at least three different banana species being referred to as Crocodile Finger. Monkey Finger, Ebon Musak and Pisang Jare Buri. I have seen PJB spelled so many different ways I have lost track. Pisang Jari Buaya, Pisang Jari Buri, Pisang Jari Buari, etc.,

This is one of the challenges we all face.There is so much information contained within the forums it can be difficult to sift through everything. That is why I no longer start new threads (not discouraging anyone else from starting new threads;just me). I have a list of threads I follow/am subscribed to and try and add to those threads (trying to catalog banana information).

PJB is a great plant, very cold sensitive and not widely planted.
