Default Have two unidentified bananas


This one has some pink tint on early stems and leaves. As they mature the p.stem turns bronze with slight pink tint here and there. One bloomed two years ago. A large purple bloom about 12 to 14" long. They have grown as tall as 14'.


The second banana is small and solid green except for a purple tint on the underside of the midrib on new leaves.

Hey southlatropical,
I'm pretty sure the second one is Ornata. the stem is clearly too thin to bear fruit at any height (therefore inedible), and it had the light green leaves. Back me up guys! I have no idea what the first one is.

I think your right about the Ornata. These are very common in my area. In fact there are some blooming at a location on my way to work. The pictures I've seen of Ornata look exactly like them. Thanks
