Heliconia Mystery #8
As you can see in the photograph of the heliconia plant on the left, not all members of this family are stellar. This plant has a pretty small and unassuming flower next to the huge leaves of the main plant. Choose your heliconias wisely.

Lobster Claw, Parrot's beak Heliconia Rostrata
As you can see in the photograph below this is one of the more beautiful and striking heliconias.
Photographed: In the Botanical Garden at the Hotel Atitlan on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.
Planting and Care: The lobster claw prefers a bright shady place in the garden, but it will adapt to more sun or less sun fairly readily. It produces a lot of leaf matter and requires routine feeding along with moist, but not wet soil.

Heliconia Mysteries #9 and #10

**Dwarf Heliconia Heliconia angusta
Just as the name implies these are smaller versions of the exotic tropical heliconia. There are many varieties of this plant, though I'd have to say none are really spectacular, but bunched together under a tree they are quite nice.
Photographed: Under our older mango tree at our home in Montserrat.
Planting and Growth: A semi shady spot with regular water will bring these plants to life. They will quickly spread so, beware!
