Default Bracts fall off or stay on?

Do the Bracts fall off or stay on the rachis on the Namwa Banana Plants? Is this true for all the different kinds of Namwa Plants? I tried searching different photos, but couldn't find any good examples.

I found some pictures showing the Blue Java (Ice-cream) banana plants and it show a clean rachis. Is this accurate? Thanks Susan

Thanks. It looks like my Ice-cream is a fake, because the Bracts are not falling off. Do the Bracts fall off Namwa Plants also?

Yes, they do.
It is my understanding that Raja Puri and Dwarf Brazilian retain their bracts. See post below for a Dwarf Brazilian inflorescence.

Seeking for help to ID this dwarf variety

Probably not ice-cream, fake Ice-cream or Namwa. I got it from Home Depot as an Ice-cream banana plant. Maybe it is Dwarf Brazilian. I will leave the flower on and do an updated picture next week.
