Heliconia flower

I think this is a type of heliconia flower.  We are in our Scottsdale, Arizona house right now.  We had a group of friends over for dinner on Sunday, and I bought a large tropical heliconia arrangement for our kitchen, which makes us miss our Tamarindo, Costa Rica condos and puts us in the mood for another stay down there.

This week we have photos of the recent total solar eclipse off the coast of Australia posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    It is a pretty bloom. I like the color combination.

    I should imagine that these would make a very dramatic display Dave, they're a little like the Birds of Paradise oui?

    I would not know what this was called, but it doesn't matter as I'm struck by its elegance and beauty!

    Gorgeous. It reminds me we'll be in Tamarindo in just over tow months. Better start brushing up my poor Spanish.

    I'm not familiar with this flower, but it has a blazingly bright red flower.

    Neither your New Britain nor my New Britain bear any resemblance to Britain.
