George, your cin twist looks like rauliniana. The others look like guadlope/guyana (small slightly twisty/runny orange yellow), jacquinni (triangular bracts...
Hi George, I agree with Ann, except that I'm not sure about #313. It definitely looks like a bihai, but it sort of looks too small to be a 'Giant Lobster...
Hi All It could be Bihai Kuma Negro also ??? Cheers Chris ... From: Bryan Brunner To: lobsterclaw@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 7:53 AM Subject:...
Thanks Bryan and all who assisted in IDing my Heliconias. This is very much appreciated as I am somewhat of a beginer, although studying hard and learning from...
Hi Everybody I was intrigued by a couple of Lance's Peruvian images. I have been able to find the ID of one. Heliconia robusta is contained on a field guide of...
Hi Guys Link to the field guide of Heliconias of Peru is on the page link below. http://fm2.fieldmuseum.org/plantguides/rcg_intro.asp cheers Bruce Stockade...
Thanks Bruce. Had a look at the pictures.. wonder what is robust about it? Oh, it seems to have necrotic edges on its bracts too! Perhaps related to...

Arggghhh! It all started so well. My Sherry seeds came in record time, the new guy at Aqis seemed wildly competent. I just had to sort out a few seeds that...
Hello Ann, You send very disappointing news from Australia. We can only hope this turns out to be a phase, and wiser heads prevail. Even the big producers will...
hello all, Yes I've just had the same happen to me.I've just got off the phone to AQIS as ive had 200 seeds go missing. They took their time to get back to me...
Hey all- This is my first attempt at growing Heliconia from seed. I got some seeds from Viveroanones and they have done quite well for me. I have them under a...
I can third that red twisting one as H. Biha ix Marginata cv "Raulineana" I have been growing that one here in Florida for a few years and thats exactly what...
Hola Amigos, recibí semillas de la mencionada Heliconia. Lamentablemente no es el mejor momento, aquí comenzó el otoño y la temperatura oscila en 15º ...
Congrats on getting those seedlings! I had similar high success rates with seeds from Viveroanones too. In my case, I would place the seedlings in an area that...
Brian, I'm no horticultural expert, but I have grown out quite a few seedlings. Here's my advice for what it's worth: If the seedlings look good in the...
Hola Sandra, Creo que estas haciendo bien con las semillas. Que las des bastante claridad, como colocarlas en la ventana. Perfecto: las semillas necesitan...

Hi Chris, It is a little hard to tell, due to the lighting on the flower and because it is such a young flower. Do you have a better picture with an older...
Mil gracias Carla, bueno, a fuerza de lectura y experiencia veo que voy encaminada... sí, están al lado de una ventana, con bastante luz, acompañadas por ...
Thanks all- I will go get some Osmocote and use that, and I'll probably keep them in more or less the light they have now, except for Irrassa, which is already...
Brian, To decide when to pot up, you're better going on instinct than waiting for them to show lots of roots. I haven't used peat pots, but you don't want to...
