I bought these 2 a few months ago in norcal. The guy I bought them from said he found a scragglybanana plant at his local nursery and only remembered that it’s an fhia. My guess is that they’re gold finger but thought they might be fhia18. Thoughts?

You need to set the permission to view the photos to be totally open, they way they are configured now no one can see them except for you it seems.

I would not be sure they are FHIA plants

Thanks, why do you say that? Any idea what they could be then?

Here's 2 photos from the guy's FB ad

I just want to be reasonably sure of what I have

If it is a FHIA cultivar, it would have to be FHIA-03, but a little hard to say for sure without seeing a more mature bunch, but it’s feasible.

Gabe,
Is that because the pseudostem looks green in the photos? It was a twilight when I took those photos and they look a lot greener than they are. There's a lot of red streaks thoughout. Not nearly as red as in the FHIA id guide for fhia2 or 18, but nowhere near as green as the fhia3
