Zebrina, Orinoco(my guess), and Cavendish.

The plant in the bottom photo has purple blotching with a dark green background -- dark enough to resemble Zebrina.

The petioles are not red like in the first one for it to be a Zebrina. It could be a High Color Mini, but then again that's a Cavendish. And HCM has far more red splashing than the one in the photo.

The top photo was supposed to be a Siam Ruby, the second photo was tagged as a "new variety as a Musa Cheka" I have nothing on that variety so I am guessing it was an error, the bottom photo was purchased at Lowe's hardware as a Blood banana "zebrina" but wasn't real certain about it either. I may have to post all my banana's to get 100% positive id's.

First one is zebrina. Both the others look rather Cavendish, they could be something else, but definitely not zebrina and neither look like 'HCM' either. I would guess them both to be something like 'Dwarf Cavendish', 'Grain Nain' or 'Williams'. However, if that last photo is a pup of the pseudostem to the left, that doesn't look Cavendish at all. At times the juvenile plants can look very different from the mature ones.
