what plant is this? is it going dormant or dying?

about 4' tall, a small tree. Flower is like a bromeliad. Bees LOVE it!

But now all leaves are yellow, and have stopped growing because of the flower on top. Plants were very healthy just a little while ago. Night time temps getting into high 30s, but no frost.

This is in marin county, CA. I was told these were bananas from the guy I bought them from, on Craigslist, but they obviously are not.

First photos are a couple months ago when flower first started showing; the last four photos are the current, stressed (I have two) plants.
