Hello all! I have 8 seedlings [about 5 to 6 inches tall] of pink passion Bananas. However as of now they look nothing like a Banana plant. Its this a true Banana plant?
Thanks!
Steve

Sounds like it could be a new trade name for Musa velutina, a true banana. Can you post a picture? In what ways do they not look like banana plants? Have you seen other banana seedlings, do they not look alike?

Banana Passion Flower is Passiflora mollissima. Hope that helps!

Yup. All those Pink Banana Passion fruits on eBay are Passifloras, not Musa. Some pink, some not, but all with banana shaped fruits(according to the ad.)

Banana shaped fruit??? LOL They are elongated in shape.. This is just someones way of getting their auction on every space possible..
I didn't see the auction .If it is P. Mollissima it is a beautiful plant and very easy to start from seed...
