Go to the Photo Gallery section and in the search field type in Musa zebrina or Musa acuminata ssp. zebrina and you'll get pictures of what the zebrina looks like. Same thing for Siam Ruby.

I think most people have it! Gabe has the Green variety. You can see it in his pix gallery. I have a bunch which is all red with hardly any green on them. They seem to like bright light but not under the hot sun as compared to my other 'naners. Here is one of them;

Sorry to say this; growing the Siam Ruby is as good as growing the Heliconia indica var illustris which is an all red foliage plant. Neither will flower or do anything else!
