I have big area where Heliconia grow wildly. They have conquered the whole space and become like small jungle. It's very near to my car porch. A nice natural shaded place for many plants but unfortunately, It has become a favorite place for snakes. I saw long black colour snake in this "small jungle" last week. I nearly step onto the snake as i was not wearing my lens/ glasses.....Phew.....That's it....I have decided to remove the whole plant as it's so inviting place for cold blooded animals.....!
A sad ending for Heliconia in my Garden.....

I don't blame you. I don't want snakes around either.

Snakes! I'm scared...
ReplyDeleteI've gone through this. It's not easy to get rid of these plants.
ReplyDeleteTake a break, Have a DOG!
What a shame - it's such a beautiful plant. But given the choice between a beautiful plant and no snakes, I'll go for the latter option everytime!
ReplyDeletewow, that would be scary to run into a snake! I love gardening at night b/c I don't have to see all the horrid bugs that I don't like. I can't imagine if I had to watch for snakes though! Too bad about the heliconia.
ReplyDeleteIt is cool to have your own little jungle, but too bad about the snakes
