I figured I'd ask here first before posting in ID forum. I brought lots of bananas with me, and not all of them survived. These did, but unfortunately their tags did not. I had Basjoo, veluntinia, orinoco and disang ceylon in the missing tag category. There is one that I didn't take a picture of, but I'll go out in a little while and take it's picture too.
Here is the first one, the upperside of the leaves is green, but the underside is a pinky bronze color.
Edited to add: this is unknown banana #1

Banana ID help
The last one might be Dwarf Cavendish (Musa acuminata). It just has a few small splotches when young. My favorite nursery has lots of them that look just like this. It has edible fruit and does well in Texas.

Cala,That last one could be Blood good,need to see more from your pics AA?,do you have pics of pups?
I will take more pics today. I have the Dwarf Cavendish in a separate spot and don't think I had a Bordelon banana. I would have remembered that name, I have a friend from LA named Bordelon.
I will take pictures of the pups if they have any.
