Zebrina, Orinoco(my guess), and Cavendish.

The plant in the bottom photo has purple blotching with a dark green background -- dark enough to resemble Zebrina.

The petioles are not red like in the first one for it to be a Zebrina. It could be a High Color Mini, but then again that's a Cavendish. And HCM has far more red splashing than the one in the photo.

The top photo was supposed to be a Siam Ruby, the second photo was tagged as a "new variety as a Musa Cheka" I have nothing on that variety so I am guessing it was an error, the bottom photo was purchased at Lowe's hardware as a Blood banana "zebrina" but wasn't real certain about it either. I may have to post all my banana's to get 100% positive id's.

First one is zebrina. Both the others look rather Cavendish, they could be something else, but definitely not zebrina and neither look like 'HCM' either. I would guess them both to be something like 'Dwarf Cavendish', 'Grain Nain' or 'Williams'. However, if that last photo is a pup of the pseudostem to the left, that doesn't look Cavendish at all. At times the juvenile plants can look very different from the mature ones.

Gabe that second one is exactly what my Williams hybrid looks like i thought there was something wrong with it do to the fact that the leafs are not spiraling but instead growing sorta like a travelers palm all in one axises on the stem is that normal?!
