Hi,
I transplanted my banana from a smaller pot indoors to a larger (15+ gallon?) pot outside almost 2 months ago. I ordered a Blue Java from Wellspring Gardens (http://wellspringgardens.com/products-2/banana-plants), though they appear to no longer have it listed.
I have heard that many Blue Java's turn out to be Namwah, but this is my first banana, so I don't really know what to look for, but based on the limited research I have done, it doesn't seem to be a Blue Java. I snapped a few pictures of it this morning and I am hoping that someone here can help ID it now that it is showing more distinct features (yellow along the edges of the leaves and the newest leaf has a red rib rather than the yellow-green of the earlier ones).
Thanks!
