My husband and I planted 14-15 Heliconia Distans (along with other heliconia) about 2 months ago.
This is our first flower that opened up sometime last night.
Heliconia Distans
Love those!!!!
I feel a trade coming on......;-) I'm on a heliconia binge right now..I have Lady Di, andromeda,and rostrata in bloom at work.
Eclipse,
I have been on a heliconia binge for a few months now.
I have:
Lady Di
Distans
Lobster Claw 2 (bihai)
Golden Torch
Rostrata
Parrot's Beak
Andro
and have on order:
Caribaea Yellow
Guyana
Marginata Red
Strawberries & Cream
If you can give mine about a month to root into the ground a little better (since they are somewhat new and I will have many more shoots) I would be glad to send you a rhizome of the Distans.
Obviously I will pass on what you have to offer but we can keep the trade open on your end in case you get something in the future I may be interested in.
