heliconia

Any news on this one Ian?

Hi Ian, Lovely shots. I may be able to help you identify this heliconia. Perhaps you can give a description of the size of the inflorescence, height of the plant, and length and width of the leaves. This looks like the Heliconia psittacorum. However, I was unable to find any of that species with green seeds. That fact may be due to climate conditions or geographic range of this species.

some similarity to this one of mine shot in Costa Rica: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6341387

Juan your realisation like every Ape is not Monkey...!!

Oh... I see.. that's new to me. thanks for the info.. So the one that's very common in the Philippines is Heliconia

@Steffi.. every Heliconia is not Bird of Paradise..what I learned from Project Noah.... Heliconia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliconia

that's bird of paradise

perhaps a bird of paradise flower?
