Default Need help with flower parts idenification.

OK,
This may sound stupid to some of you, but I gotta ask for help, here. For those of you who see this all the time should be able to help me out. I have a Musa siamensis 'Thai Gold' that is blooming and I have been cross pollinating it with Musa velutina pollen. The first 4 sets of blooms all looked alike and I was able to pollinate them. Today, I have a couple of new sets of blooms that look different to me and I wondered if they were the male flowers already coming out. Please take a look at the pictures below, and let me know what you think. The first two pics are the ones that I pollinated with the velutina and you can see where I pollinated them. The last three pics are the ones I took today and looked differently. Please help me out here!!! Thanks in advance!!!





Okay, here are the new blooms opening today...







Someone, please tell me I am not crazy and there is a difference!!!
