Re: Edible Musa collected in Sarawak Borneo
Looked through my reference material, found some color variation between pinkish and reddish for Namwa. Like the somatic mutations you mentioned, I wouldn't be too surprised if Pisang Awak types can have multiple flower colors.
It's already a thing for a couple of beloved Pome cultivars, Raja Puri and Dwarf Brazilian. They're difficult to distinguish unless you're in the very brief window where the female flowers are fresh. Raja Puri is bright red whereas Dwarf Brazilian is more creamy/pink.
