What I don't get is the FHIA-18 is the same, but clearly not the same plant. How can it be different with the same parents?

Got any siblings? Just like other life forms two parents don't produce offspring that's identical unless a fertilized egg splits resulting in identical twins, tripplets, etc.

The seeds that they received from the crossing were not the same. There were probably 100ʻs of offspring, but the seeds of those two showed promise.

That I understand, but I was thinking in terms of being clones of each other. Like a DB is basically a clone of other DBs out there. So I guess when they're getting the pollen from any one, it's basically getting a random mix of 50% of that types DNA. I know next to nothing about plant breeding, and have only read summaries of how bananas are bred. So I guess I was thinking a banana cultivar is more like a fertilized egg, and that it would be the same no matter how many times it splits.

As the others said, FHIA-18 and FHIA-01 are siblings from the same mating (cross), but from different seeds that contained DNA from different pollen and different ova, and so represent a different combination of genes. They are not clones.
