How about some kind of identification gallery? Maybe where people could upload pics of banana varieties, leaves, pstems, petioles, blooms, fruit, or any other type of distinguishing characteristics. Along with being able to ask questions of other members, this might help narrow it down. The wiki kind of does this but not very well, maybe it could be more improved by searching by color, height, growth type, light requirments, etc.:08:

Oh and hardiness zone

Oh and hardiness zoneI see a little problem with that. Why? Because of microclimates. When I lived on the cusp of NE/NW DC different sites said I was in a 6b up to a 7b. Guess what? In most years, except the one where Reagan's inauguration (1985--brrrrr!) was held inside, I was basically in an 8a and sometimes 8b because I was surrounded by concrete and asphalt; my house was 1/2 stucco. All sun suckers and returners. My tiny garden 1/32 acre (maybe) where I used no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer was crammed full enough with stuff to sell extras.
