Hi, new to bananas and was hoping to get some help. My mom bought 3 of these at bi-mart and they didn't have tags. We were hoping somebody could identify them and be able to tell us if they are ornamental or if they could actually flower. Look at my gallery for pictures of one. Thankyou for looking.

well hello! to me...( im no expert, and i might be wrong) but they look like musa basjoo. see the red vein in the middle of the leaf....basjoo. if they are basjoo they are cold hardy. you can look them up in the banana wiki there is a lot of info in there. i love mine!
