Rita, is your Collinsii still up? Almost all of my Zingibers have already gone dormant for this season.

This is a new plant I received in a trade about 2-3 months ago. It's the variegated heliconia H. bihai lemai albo-variegata-striata. It seems to be very slow growing. Actually it has 2 additional new leaves now, but I forgot to take a new photo when I was in the GH today. It's a lot different from my variegated psitticorum "El Tigre". The leaves are bigger and broader, and overall I expect it to be a much larger plant.
