Its long pointed bracts arch with a particularly pleasing curvature. Its fan shaped clumps, up to 12 feet high, thrive as well in Hawai’i as in its native Costa Rica and Panama. Full sun, ample water, warm air, high humidity, and good soil are all it needs. However, in blooming season, March to May, is short; current research is aimed at expanding its period of availability. Rainbow heliconia resembles giant lobster claw. However, its unopened bracts form a jagged herringbone pattern, its “cheeks” are smaller and its yellow colouration is greenish rather than bright.”: Text quote from the book titled Exotic Tropicals of Hawai’i by Angela K. Kepler It is a beautiful greeting card. We have many varieties of Heliconia blooming on Maui. If you are interested in a particular variety or colour simply drop me a note and let me know. Mahalo!

Hanging Lobster Claws, or Heliconia Rostrata. Another low light day in Noosa Hinterlands alowed me to open the shutter with lovely cloudy light :)

There she went again, in the company of her flower friends. Ophelia sat down with a group of red hot heliconia ladies, she was so taken in by their tropical beauty and their ability to make intelligent conversation that she lost track of time again. There is no other owl who had as many flower friends as Ophelia :D / / You can view and buy my other “Red Hot Heliconias” creations at my Zazzle Gallery: /

Colored pencil illustration of the beautiful tropical heliconia plant, gorgeously vibrant. Great card or gift for anyone who loves exotic flowers and foliage. I think this is heliconia rostrata, which grows rampantly within the neat beds of my mother’s garden.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Tropical Heliconia These are a close relative of the banana family, quintessentially tropical with large banana like leaves producing flowers that immediately remind you of a tropical paradise. Very few plants can evoke the tropics with such brilliance as the exotic Heliconias. This tropical plant which is a native of Central and South America is also found in some Southwest Pacific islands and its abundance in Southeast Asia is breathtaking. Heliconia has many more common names such as ‘Wild Plantain’, ‘Lobster Claw’ and the widely used ‘False Bird of Paradise’. This exotic evergreen plant blooms in the spring through summer and autumn. It can die back in winter but will bounce back in the spring more vigorous than ever. The leaves are similar to the banana plant and the flowers which are really bracts can be seen in yellow, pink, red, sometimes green and any number of variations on all of these colours. The most spectacular are the vibrant red and yellow of Heliconia rostrata. These flowers are lobster claw like in appearance and adorn the plant in a pendulous fashion. Heliconias can grow from 2ft to more than 20ft. Canon PowerShot A650 IS / 12.1MP – 6x Optical Zoom – 4x Digital Zoom

I saw three ants crawling on a Heliconia flower. And they seems to be following the leader. When I finally work on it on my photoshop, I figured, why not make their natural habitat seems like it’s from out of this world. So now the ants have been transported to a Fantasy Land.

This is a tropical flower named Etlingera Elatior Red from the Heliconias Rhizomes family. I shot this beauty while hiking through the rain forests on the big Island of Hawaii. They are very large stock flowers that are native to the tropics. I removed this one from its background, applied the Fractalius filter and then added the flood filter. / /
