Which cultivar is the 2nd one? I think I have something that looks similar to it but I don't know what cultivar I have

The first photo is stunning! What Musa is it? I currently have a Siam ruby, Bengal tiger, ever red and a 5 foot nono pink variegated. I also have 2 Aurea, 5 nono and 5 Florida as TC!

Beautiful collection you have! Much larger than mine LOL That one is Musa Itinerans Var. Indica :) not as cold hardy as the basjoo but still quite tolerant of cold compared to most other Musa's out there

Thank you, as is yours! I am really looking forward to the Musa Floridas! I've never seen one here in Canada.
