hi, Just dropped by from one of the Gardener Blog and found your site.
ReplyDeleteAmazed to see you got a lovely garden with all the pretty plants.
I had once a heliconia planted in a pot but they didn't do so well in a potbound condition. One thing though - there was sunbirds coming and taking nectar from the flowers, now they are rare as a lot of trees were cutdown for the housing development near my region.
Nice love those flowers...like to grow them but don't have space.
ReplyDeleteIts beauty is in the bright and striking colour and how red fades slowly to yellow. Give it a week or two the colour will be even richer after fertilising... ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely... I love the way the pink veers to orange and yellow at the edges.
ReplyDeleteJames: Thanks for dropping by! Lovely garden? hmm... may be that's because i only post the good part of the garden! hahaha....
ReplyDeleteMalay-kadazan girl: actually not much space required! May be you can try one day!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Heliconia is easy to grow. The blooms are spectacular and lasts a few days. They are great as cut flowers too. Yours are gorgeous.
