Default So what do you think they are?

I received these 2 small plants in the mail about a month ago,
they are growing just fine, I have bumped them up a little in pot size.
I have no idea what they are since they weren't what I ordered.
I'm bringing them in for the winter when it gets cold, so anybody have
an idea as to what they are?

I am not sure, but I think they might be the same type. They looked
different when I got them, now they look alike. LOL!
Mystery type bananas LOL!

They are too small to say with absolute certainty, but I agree with Andreas, Dwarf Cavendish is the most likely suspect.

Looks like to me also .
Great looking plant .
Wait till it gets on it fourth set of leaves and a better ID might be made.
It should grow fast.

They look a lot like the Gros Michel I have out on my patio. I don't recall if Dwarf Cavendish has the pink margins on the petioles.

Sometimes they do, but not always.
