It definitely looks like E. Glaucum from the pic presented.

Yes, that is E. glaucum, but how did you get pups? Do you mean seedlings perhaps? Do you have any photos of the plants you started out with?

Very cool picture showing the rare ensete "pup" Novi.. There have been posts here in the past showing how ensetes will sometimes produce pups due to stress such as the parent plants psuedostem being cut down. I had one such E. maurelii pup that in fact had its own small pup. I'm not sure if this was from the initial cutting of the mother plant or otherwise. In any case it seems stress may induce pupping of the Ensetes. Maybe flowering had induced this stress in your plant and that's how it would have regenerated itself in nature?Thanks for posting the picture.
