I got this original plant from a friend as a pup. It's about 3 years old now (dies down in winter) and has produced about 15 pups I'd guess. I've seperated a few off and moved them around in my back yard. It has never produced a flower or fruit, but I think the one I removed from it last week might be about to flower. I'll post a few pics of the one I just moved, but for now any ideas on what type of banana this is? Thanks in advance guys, and thanks for a great site with a ton of info.

And here's a picture of the one I just seperated from the mat, it has 2 pups of it's own and now looks like it might be flowering. Is it normal for them to droop like this when moved? And is it possible that a plant this size is flowering/fruiting? If you look closely in the picture you can see how the psudostem is kinda bulging at the top, and it has a little pink colored leaf/flower starting to poke out the top.
