Odd looking "banana" tree.

A friend purchased this for me as a gift. The thing is, she said the sign where she purchased said "Banana Trees". I don't think it is a banana, but what is it?

Looks like a bird of paradise.

Yes, feed them and you will love them when they flower! Should be any minute now. Such fantastic testament that there just might be a god. How can such beautiful details be haphazardly churned together. Be sure to take a pic and show us your exquisite beauty please!
