Courtney your photographs are really lovely. I've never seen a dwarf blood banana before but I did find this website that you might like to take a look at:
http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week271.shtml
The colouring on the leaves is very unusual - well at least to me. I don't think I'd be able to grow one here unless I had a conservatory or greenhouse but am sorely tempted to buy one.

We are farther south Courtney, but a friend of mine has one in the ground. They are lovely.
I have 2 pink guara's. I hope the heat doesn't get them.

The dwarf blood banana does have interesting coloring. The guara blossoms look so dainty.
