Although Ive seen probly upwards of 100,000 banana plants since Ive been here, the most interesting ones to see for me are the traditional Hawaiian varieties, especially if you can find them in the forests. On the Kalalau trail in northern Kauai, I was able to spot some of these traditional plants in the forests, planted by the hawaiians many years ago. Also in some of the botanic gardens I have seen a few interesting ones so far, both traditional varieties and others.
Ensete superbum
Mai'a Hapai (the elusive 'pregnant banana')
Along the Kalalau trail, can you spot the bananas?
"wild" Maoli type (I think)
"wild" Iholena type
