Yes Scott, I considered Heliconia Bhai also. Think I'll go with H.wagneriana... Thanks. Only a few more to go!

I was looking at Heliconia bihai but I think you are probably just as correct, Pam. See http://www.montosogardens.com/heliconia_wagneriana.htm They appear to be synonyms in many lists, e.g., http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/biodiversity/bci/species/22179 and standalone accepted species in others...I think they are very similar.
