More updated pictures! I found a second flower on the Raja Puri! Is that crazy? We've had some colder temps at night in the high 30's that make me nervous.

New Raja Puri flower and mat showing the two blooms:




Updated fruit on Raja Puri:



Iholena -- this one isn't 15' as Iholenas are supposed to be so maybe it is a Dwarf Iholena. I'd love to here more opinions about this one if anyone has one.



Mark helped me to identify this one as a Dwarf Cavendish:

Thanks, Tony. That's a beauty. I was trying to figure out the height of mine compared to my six-foot-tall fence, and it looks only about seven feet. So I'm guessing that maybe it's a dwarf Iholena? Thanks for posting your pic and that info.

I thought I would post some updated pictures of my bananas that are blooming. It got down to 33 here one night, which was a record. The leaves on my Iholena don't look very good, but the fruit is unaffected so far.
