These plants have leaves similar to banana leaves and the greener ones are used for food wraps in local cooking here

WOW! What a beautiful Heliconia! I can't remember the species name, however, I've only rarely seen this species available for sale.

Panther:

Maybe Heliconia illustris? I'll have to look in my comprehensive Heliconia book...and I'll see if I can find it.

Hi Panther and Delonix - would it be Heliconia Curtispatha? They have leaves that look so much like banana leaves.
