Heliconia bud

Lars
17 years ago

My heliconia has started to bloom. When I saw {{gwi:1313977}}, I realized that there was {{gwi:1469563}}. Here's {{gwi:1469574}} from the other side. When it opens, it will have yellow stalks with blue berries or seeds, when they are ripe. I'll take pictures of it after it opens, but unlike other heliconias, I think this one looks better as a bud. We grew it from seeds that we collected at the Botanical Gardens. This is a very hardy variety (I think it will grow in zone 8), but only blooms in zone 10-11. I would like to get some showier heliconias for the back yard.
