Based on the shape of the pseudostem (fat at the base) and the upright, silvery leaves, it kinda looks like musella lasiocarpa. Not for sure though.

Too much stem to be laciocarpa and leaves too bright.

That first one is Musella lasiocarpa, not an Ensete.

Other ones are definitely some sort of Cavendish. Based on the color of the p-stem, I'll guess Gran Nain.

The pup just confirms that it's a Musella. Ensetes generally don't pup.

I never bothered with mussellas

Every dwarf cavendish I've ever seen never had that much red. its mostly green with dark markings on the pstem. The plants in the black pots are more likely super dwarf cavendish or gran nain the two look almost identical only the sdc never gets near the size of gran nain. This is based on what I've seen.
