I tried pollinating this one with zebrina, but not sure yet if it took.
Any ideas of what it is?

Also next to it is this dwarf that blooms at dog height.

Now this one I know what it is, but maybe you'll figure it out.

Hope it works for you. But you're in Puerto Vallarta, so I won't have any sympathy for you if it doesn't. (just kidding) Good luck and no, I don't know what the little one is, but I want one.

Basjoo? Laterita? or a Sikkimensis form?

LOL

Ok I'll fess up. The one with the dog next to it is the same type as the first one, it's just in construction site and had about 5 feet of dirt filled in around(sorry for the trick),
Taylor, your right it's basjoo that was in morning sun, grown from, an almost tuber. It has since lost it's color.

I'm starting to think maybe the first one is a tall cavendish and the fruit is the result of being poorly grown. The pup is allready three times it's size. Not really good at guessing these edibles yet.

The first one looks like Orinoco/Bluggoe (same plant, different names). Definitely not Cavendish. Iʻm sure how well they set seed, but there are a number of ABBʻs that will set seed with a pollen source. The seed may not be viable, but its worth a try.
