I got this plant as a couple of divisions a year ago, now the plant has about 30 stems and putting on a great show.
Heliconia Red Christmas starting to bloom.
Beautiful, Kyle. I have some (also some of the yellows), but they're not close to blooming yet - now I know what I can look forward to.

This forn takes some shade and only grows about 3 feet tall.Only blooms in winter months,when the others are slowing down. :-)
Kyle,
What do you do with these plants when the are putting on their show. Do they go to the mayor's office, city hall rotundra or do you put them in your office?
Drop dead gorgeous!

INCREDIBLE! Wow, Kyle! That easily moves onto my top ten test list of the most stunning flowers I have ever seen.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing!

Dale, in the winter they just stay at the greenhouse for us employees to enjoy.Other varieties I plant out in the spring downtown in the tropical displays.They bloom yearround or are summer bloomers. If I sent these to city hall they would either die of low light, or no watering. Too risky!! LOL
Gosh, I thought i had this heliconia...but I don't, and now I know I need it!! lol thanks kyle!!!
Kyle calls it work but he is really playing. :-))))) Brilliant !
arde....SHUSH! don't blow my cover... LOL :-)
Kyle, you always have the most gorgeous plants. I would love to be your assistant (gofer).
Linda I couls sure use one soon,,,spring planting is a few months off but the greenhouse` will go into fast mode real soon, 500,000 bedding plant, perenials and tropical annuals for display beds. I'm tired just thinkin about it!! LOL
Kyle, Imagine having to do it twice a year.
Eclipse....Gorgeous! Youv'e given me hope. I have the Yellow and was just about ready to pull it up and throw it out. Now, I will pull it up but repot it and move it to a better location. I'm in zone 8b and since I've had it it hasn't done much. But after seeing your beauty I've revised my thoughts.
I keep looking at that picture Kyle; it is probably the prettiest Heliconia I have ever seen.
I like the way the flowers stand above the foliage when it blooms instead of under or between the foliage like the taller ones
