Although I can find pictures on the net of banana flowers just like yours Jon I can't find either a common or Latin name for the variety.  People seem to post the photographs but perhaps don't know the type of banana plant they have.
Now for a little bit of trivial informnation. 
Did you know that a banana tree isn't a tree at all? The 'trunk/stem' is actually a pseudostem made of each of the banana plant's leave sheaths. So you see it is technically a plant.
Told you it was trivial info.
