Hi, new to bananas and was hoping to get some help. My mom bought 3 of these at bi-mart and they didn't have tags. We were hoping somebody could identify them and be able to tell us if they are ornamental or if they could actually flower. Look at my gallery for pictures of one. Thankyou for looking.
