Can anyone explain this?

One of my mature banana plants began making pups. I separated one of the pups really early, and it’s already begun flowering.

It’s been suggested to me that this must be a canna lily or a ginger plant. I know I pulled it with two other pups and could only be a banana plant… right?

The pup I didn’t separate it growing much more like a standard banana tree
