Hi Gabe. I totally agree with you on that. I guess the reason why I'm assuming they are Gran Nain is because I ordered Cal Gold (which I now know you can't get from a nursery) and received these. I decided to keep them and went through their nursery banana plant list of what they could be with the blotches and other characteristics they now have. Unless of course he's sending out plants that are totally wrong and not on his inventory at all.
