Do you have a suggestion as to it could be?

It's really hard to say when they are that small, but it looks pretty Cavendish-y to me. I figure that for most varieties, you won't know until they have fruited, and even then you might not know.

My vote is Orinoco.

Greetings. sorry if I put this in the wrong forum/thread. I posted it here because I was searching "Lowe's" at the time. Sorry also if I provided too much info for an easy i.d., since I have a suspicion about what this Lowe's plant is now. But it would be nice to hear what others think.

This mystery plant was labeled as 'platano rojos' when I bought it some time ago.

Plant Characteristics I have observed over time (I have had it for two to three years perhaps approximately): it fruited once shortly after I purchased it, and has not put out a flower since-*until this week, when I noticed one was finally dropping a flower. The bananas it originally put out were greenish red and small. The stem is papery, unlike some of the other plants I have which are smoother. The stem on the plant that just put out a flower is about 46 inches tall (at an angle) from ground to top of stem (not including leaf height.) A neighboring plant of same variety (I think) recently grew a bit bigger, closer to 61-64 inches from ground to top of stem. At more-or-less ground level, the plants are about 6 inches in diameter.

Here are some photos. Any ideas? Thanks!

Looks like Zebrina.

Definitely a zebrina. Other names for this banana include musa rojo or platano rojos as well as a blood banana.
