Joy unknown type

[IMG][/IMG]

Hello, my name is Phillip. I am new to this forum and to growing banana plants. I would like to grow several types of bananas and have recently planted a California Gold, a Raja Puri, a Gran Nain and one that I hope someone can help me identify.
This was supposed to be a Golden African also known as Gold Rhino Horn. I bought it from a place in Georgia that I read was less than reputable and was told that Golden African banana plants do not have variegated leaves. A Dwarf Cavendish maybe? It was my own fault for not reading the customer reviews before purchasing. I have two questions... Has anyone else had a problem receiving the wrong types when ordering online and is it possible to identify the banana plant type from this photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Rebel, I appreciate the info. I can see that there is a lot to learn about banana plants. I should have known that before buying them. I have grown oranges and lemons for several years and I should have known better.
Thanks again,
Phillip

Yeah, that's what I thought with the 'blood' marks on it.
