I'd say that's about right. Several factors can contribute to how soon they flower but all of these are generally smaller-growing than most of the edibles and have much more slender pseudostems and they just flower quicker. If you had a greenhouse or could keep your ornamental bananas warm enough and growing throughout the winter they could potentially bloom year-round.
