Heliconia

Heliconias are common in Costa Rica.  They are related to ginger plants and banana trees, both of which are also common.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.  This week we are showing photos of the street art in Valparaiso, Chile.  If they had an award for the city with the best and most extensive street art, Valparaiso would be the winner.

    A lovely, unusual plant with vivid colors.

    Welcome home. Glad you are back safe and, no doubt, full of stories.

    Heliconias are fascinating. They look like a necklace made from a string of toucan beaks.

    So pretty! That would look nice in my garden but I'm afraid it would be thirsty here.
