Default Re: What type of banana plant is this?

My apologizes ... I was thinking that Orinoco/bluggoe do not have red mid ribs. But I walked out to look at my Orinocos some of the pups Do and thin red edges. ... I also have a Dwarf Orinoco which presented the red mid rib and leaf edge. This red generally fades to green as the Orinoco grows.

I also have a young 1000 Finger with a pup near by. It looks near identical to my Orinoco's. Only the mid rib where it joins the pstem appears slightly (very slight) more reddish by visible comparison. I also most missed it but, one leaf of the 1000 Finger had very slight wine stains.

While the pictures above are Orinoco/bluggoe, the Orinoco & 1000 Finger are indistinguishable at this stage of growth; at least for me.
