Default What's the Difference?

Today I purchased a small potted banana from Wal-Mart. On one side it had a tag reading 'Lady Finger', and on the other side it said Manzano, true Apple banana. I thought those were all different types. It looks different from the other young banana plants I've seen since it has a lot of pink on the pseudostem. Can some experienced folks shed some light on whether these are all the same or not? I already have something called a Dwarf-Apple (just today I noticed the first pink tip of a 'pup' poking about 1 1/2 inch out of the ground ) and I'm curious to see if this will have about the same fruit, or not.
