Karenfrance:

Gorgeous Heliconia! I used to have a lot of varieties of Heliconia at one time...I only have two now.

I think they're spectacular, Delonix! And, this is one plant of which there are many varieties, here. My favourite is red and yellow. :)

Yes, Helionias are very spectacular...I could kick myself for letting my Heliconia angusta 'Red Christmas' and 'Yellow Christmas' die during the long drought.
