Hi everybody and thanks for the weloming words!
I'm active in cool tropical gardening for about 6 years now and have quite a collection already, bananas (ofcourse), palms, gingers, ferns, aroids, you name it. The bananaspecies I currently have are:
Musa: basjoo, sikkimensis, itinerans, itinerans 'Gigantea', balbisiana, paradisiaca, zebrina, velutina, ornata, cheesmani, nagensium (probably also a cheesmani);
Ensete: ventricosum, ventricosum 'Maurelii', glaucum and superbum;
and Musella lasiocarpa. Overwintering those can sometimes be troublesome because I don't have a space under my house like some of you guys in the U.S. have...
I also have a collection of ferns, I love the combination of ferns and broad-leaved plants like Musa's.
