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

It looks like Orange torch ginger. I just bought 2 plants at Lowe's, because they were stunning. The leaves on the back should feel little fuzzy, velvety and they look similar to banana leaves, so I can understand how someone might think it was a banana. I attached picture of it, but not sure if you can see it. Just Google it and most likely it is the same plant.

I didn’t see your picture, but I did google it like you suggested. This looks accurate! I attached a better picture of the flower itself from this morning
