Heliconia Psittacorum



Their look like colorful small bananas. Though they were formerly classified under the family Musaceae which include bananas, they are now listed under the separate family of Heliconiaceae..



Here is another I found in Teacher's village.



Here are new photos of heliconias taken at QC Memorial cicle with my Hs25EXR camera.
