Hello, I revisited this H. ramonensis var. veraguasensis in the wild recently. The two inflorescences are from the same clump; one is older than the other....
Hello, Here's another success story in my yard, but not related to seeds; this H. lingulata was grown from a rhizome. Heliconias in my high-elevation (1320m)...
Carla, that is absolutely gorgeous! I only wish lingulatas come one size smaller, so that they will make good production pot plants! Here in the lowlands, I...
Hello Carla, Your lingulata is extremely beautiful!. Your news come just in time as I am contemplating moving my lingulata. Currently, it is in partial shade...
Hello all! Many of the large variety heliconia take many months to bloom and some nearly two years. I wonder the sensitivity of matured heliconias to blooming...
Faridah, At the high altitude where I live, we never get hot temperatures (25 tops). But when I bring a low-land plant to my yard which normally grows in the...
Not sure what blooming agents you are referring to; hormones? I meant to have my heliconias go on a strict high K (potassium) diet, but I always relented when...

Ann and all, On flowers over foliage: the Golden Torches do pretty well, probably due to their long-peduncled psittacorum heritage. For all it's worth,...
Calvin There is a dwarf lingulata. It was collected in Southern Peru. Grows 1- 1.5m tall. Red tips on the bracts. It tends to grow in one plane vegetatively,...

Calvin Can't be sure but it looks like H. collinsiana to me. Any chance the photo was taken at JBP? btw, when John Kress first came up with the acronym, it was...
Calvin: I agree with Victor, from the picture it looks like a form of collinsiana with no wax on it. This happens with several species, and offhand I can...

Hi Emilia Thanks much for the photo! I peered into the heliconia book, then your photo. I got a feeling that your chartacea plant had some relationship with a...
