Default Bulb plants from Petco
Ok guys, what did I just buy here?
I know one of them is the banana plant, and I suspect the other is a water lily of some sort based on the bulb (really a rhizome?) and leaves. It appears to be a true aquatic as well.

Yes, one of them is a banana plant, but I'm not prepared to say what the other is until we can get a better look at it.

How's this picture?

ps, it floats. I assume that it needs to be planted in the substrate.

that's a funky looking bulb! I'd guess it's a Nymphea species but I'll let more experienced people chime in....

It's a type of water lily. Plant the rhizome/corm/bulb and let the plant grow for awhile and see what it 'becomes'.
