Default Learning about banana id'ing

I keep seeing bananas in peoples yards and I would love to be able to tell what kind they are. Even just id'ing a few would be great. I know there are LOTS so I don't expect to know them all..unlike a few on this board. You amazing freaks you!! I'm so jealous. Anyway, is there a way to determine certain varieties? Leaf size, color? Is there a book or a web site that teaches you how to differentiate bananas? They all kinda look the same. I was walking with my husband and there is a gorgeous banana that is just starting to fruit with large bananas and my husband said, "what kind is it"? I had no idea...it is green and ummmm has bananas. I have no idea!

Can anyone reccomend a book or website or any tips for me?
