PS. some Bananas just like to make lots of pups and some times its a sign of stress the momma think she mite die so shes making pups to insure the survival of the species

Oh this one definately isn't stressed at all. I think I agree with Sandy's first hypothesis... that some pups (or rather eyes) had already formed but didn't take off until later. Yeah, I know and understand about leaving a pup or two with momma will make them more vibrant if you'd say, but at the same time, in my theory I would think although seperated, a double mahoi would still produce the deformity of several stalks although not attached to it's mother plant.
