Default Identification?

I'm still pretty new to bananas and I was wondering if anyone here can ID these 2 banana plants for me? I believe the both produce edible bananas. They haven't flowered for me yet. The bigger ones would have probably flowered, but it got down to about 15-20 degrees for a couple weeks and they all died and had to start regrowing again. The smaller one i have neglected in a pot for the last year or so and now that i have a new banana interest i planted it in the ground and have actually been taking care of it lol

Here are the bigger ones.





And here is the small neglected one






Thanks!

I looked up Raja Puri and everything i saw and read said they are solid green. The small ones have red marking on the leaves.

I'll pass on the large one but the small one looks like Dwarf Cavendish.

I'd agree with Dwarf Cav for the small ones.

The bigger ones are likely 'Orinoco' as the others said, but the smaller ones are way too small positively ID. Many bananas will show that red coloration on the leaves depending on age and conditions, it can even occur on varieties that are normally all green if the conditions are right for it (often high stress situations).

When they flower you will know for sure.
