I found a hacked-up banana plant and corm on the side of the road. I planted the corm in January 2012. The pictures show the plant as of June 2012. Can you help me identify what type of banana it is?

The pseudostem base is olive green with pinkish overtones.http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5jK5kIhmmwc/T9NO5PIB11I/AAAAAAAABas/LjlW60Mj2PQ/s1600/005%2B%2528480x640%2529.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4rTvZ80WfDE/T9NO432-s9I/AAAAAAAABag/XY1vfh3kySk/s320/004%2B%2528480x640%2529.jpg

The upper pseudostem and leaf petioles are frosted olive green.http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S_xrugyBoMw/T9NO598hX3I/AAAAAAAABbE/Qjl9pfuTcPs/s320/014%2B%2528480x640%2529.jpg

The leaves are green with a red-tinted midrib. The back of the leaves have a frosted appearance.http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k2t4BZ1oulQ/T9NO5ic8wtI/AAAAAAAABa4/3f6s7CQYW-A/s320/006%2B%2528480x640%2529.jpg

It's hard to say, but it reminds me of an Orinoco :)
