I just found this in my outbox. Here it goes; I hope I'm not repeating myself. Hello Ann, Your first issue, ie: "who are actually claw 1,2 and 3?" is being ...
Hi Carla, Right, I think they were wrong about that ID as 'Firebird'... I went back to the original description in the Kress/Berry book, and what I have fits...
Hi Carla and Everybody, Please point out any errors or omissions that you see, and I'm always open for suggestions on how to improve the site. Thanks, Bryan...

Hello Bryan and all, Thanks for the details. That's what it is going to take to get and keep all these straight. I follow the goings-on in the water gardening...
Cindy Do, Just a quick note because I'm trying to get out the door for a week-long trip. You could try sinking a subterranean barrier, like a piece of metal or...
Thanks Carla, I like your latter idea better, the country sounds nice. Actually, I did run a barrier when I planted them, I guess it's just not deep enough but...

Cindy, As Carla said, putting in a barrier would be the most permanent, but expensive, method. Another method would be to cut and remove the rhizomes as they...

Dear Chris: Yes, I agree with you, it looks more like a H. chartacaea cv. Sexy Scarlet than a H. chartacaea cv. Sexy Pink. Hector ***** On Monday, May 2, 2005,...
Dear Cindy: A long term, more reasonable solution would be to get rid entirely of the current heliconia variety you have and substitute them for a non-invasive...
Hi Chris, I agree with Hector, it doesn't exactly look like a Sexy Pink, but it is much nicer than any Sexy Scarlet flowers that I have seen. I wonder if it...
Greetings! If my sexy scarlets looked like that I would actually fertilize them! A cut flower grower I know has two very distinct sexy pinks at his place that...

Hi All From what I have seen in the bush, H chartaceae is pretty variable and I have only had a quick look around in Napo Province in Ecuador and along the...
Hi All I agree with Bruce. There's so much variations in Sexy Pink, almost like the different rostratas everywhere. I received a rhizome from Alan Carle...
Hector, That's an excellent idea. I'm going to try fertilizing on the back side of them. Thanks, Cynthia D. Do, Broker Casualty & Surety, Inc. 7378 West...

Okay, thanks Bryan. I'm not sure how to cut the underground rhizome, do I just dig down and remove it from the clump? I did cut some off but only at the...

Hi Cindy, Yes, you have to dig down a little, but the rhizome is usually just under the surface of the soil. You need to cut the rhizome and dig out the...
