Hello all Just wondering which are the small heliconias ( less than 1.5m) with dark green velvety looking leaves with a light-coloured mid rib? Someone got me...
Hi Victor, I think Calvin might be right. I'll get a photo of my all-green H. metallica tomorrow to see if it looks familiar to you. Right now we're getting...
Hello all, We were out in the hills last weekend and saw this beauty. Last time we were in the location, the plant wasn't in flower and we called it H....
Hi Carla If it was growing in full sun, I would have doubly suspect a wagneriana. But hey, lennartiana looks like it might melt in the sun. Calvin Carla...
Here are some photos of some Heliconias flowering now. These are all good specimens here in zone 9B. We are growing and experimenting with others to see how...
Hi Carla & Calvin I had thought of H. metallica but don't think it is. I had grown H. metallica when I was with the Bird Park and this plant is different. For...

Ann, Beautiful flower!!! It looks similar to H. wagneriana 'Torbo', but the bracts seem to be narrower. I wonder if it could be an environmental difference,...
Dear Carla: Keep up the good work! The site is very active. Two weeks ago we had Jose Abalo as a guest speaker visiting us in Puerto Rico and we all loved his...
Dear Bryan, It is similiar to Torbo but different. Torbo has a slightly powdery stem,more yellow in the flower and flowers a bit later than this one. Maybe it...

Hi Ann, Where are you getting all these heliconias? Are the rhizomes sold locally? The "problem" with Australia (it could also be looked at as an advantage)...
