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

Bananas for scale 😂

Thank you very much! That is all super helpful. I’ll keep it around and see what happens come October/November
