I'm just a novice, but it looks a lot like my Dwarf Orinoco.

Yeah, you're right, those long petioles look like they belong to the Tall rather than the Dwarf. Lots of vertical spacing between the leaves, too, which wouldn't be expected in a potted Dwarf.

I'm pretty excited I got the 'Orinoco' part right, though, even if it was the wrong one :)

Looks it like it could be pretty much anything in the ABB family, like Ice Cream, Orinoco, etc.

Yep, does look like an ABB. I'd guess tall Namwah (= fake Ice Cream). You won't be able to narrow it down much more than ABB genome until it blooms.

What am I? Lol I don't know about you but I'm confussed:}

I have a plant that looks just like the one you have....however; all banana plants look the same to me lol for the most part.

Hope you find out once it blooms so i'll know what I have too!

For now I have 12 foster home plants with no idea who their mommy is..lol
