Default Hi from a nana newbie

Hi all. I am now the proud owner of a new musa? banana. I have been gardening for years, herbs, flowers, natives, etc. I have some bonsai but am totally addicted to orchids (I stopped counting after fifty). My screen name, chibae is after one of My favs, Phalaenopsis chibae.
Well, one can't be addicted to orchids without longing for the tropics. So after a little research I decided that a banana (or teo, or three, or, well you get the idea) would go great with the hardy hibiscus and potted Mandevillas.
Since my husband wasn't exactly keen on the idea, I decided that I needed to start small, so last week i brought home tomato seedlings, a few flats of annuals and one banana.
It's labeled musa banana, I know big help. The leaves look like pics I've seen of zebrina. I'll post some once it stops raining here.
