Ronald,
Zebrina, ornata, and a large variety (looks like Orinoco) are very common in Louisiana and considered 'weeds' by some people that do not try to control them. Oddly enough, Bordelon which is the only banana from Louisiana is not very common while zebrinas have become a common sight b/c of the big box stores.
