Bromelia

Aleyna:

It's absolutely beautiful!

Hate to tell you this -- this isn't a bromeliad. It's a Heliconia. Most likely Heliconia bihai or some cultivar of this species. These are Brazilian natives. It's absolutely beautiful!

My Heliconias are starting to put out flower bracts now, too. :>)

LOL!! :o)
Ok, forgive me... it is among the bromelias, so I assumed the heliconia was some kind of bromelia
You will find them again among the bormelias on the blog :)

I'm a botanic dumb!! hehehehe

Please add your comments at the blog so the GOY members will know which ones are bromelias and which ones are Musaceae - banana do mato .... :P

Wish that I could grow this in the UK!

HI Meanie,

Alyena:
