No idea what this plant is called, but it’s flower is just awesome, red and yellow.
I was on my way out this morning and spotted it near the swimming pool.
Enjoy 🙂

So beautiful! So much prettier than the Birds of Paradise her. Ours look so straggler-like.
Seemed to have been some debate as to the species, I’m just the photographer !
Reblogged this on Mistrz i Małgorzata.
Thx for reblog 😀
🙂
Hi Don, Don’t think that it’s a Strelitzia (bird of paradise plant). Since it’s in the tropics, I think it’s a Heleconia, which is pollinated by hummingbirds. Great picture, thanks.
The hummingbird I’ve yet to see, those guys are cool 😀
the magic
Thanks 😀
Hmm, if you look at photos of Bird of Paradise (strelitzia), they’re not quite the same. Look what you’ve started with your pretty photo!
LOL … well it’s good to chat they say … I’ll stick to what I’m good at photography and let the botanists debate the species 😀
Yes, Bird of Paradise. I have one in my garden 🙂
😀
It’s beautiful! I think it’s a species of Bird of Paradise. I couldn’t be sure, but I’d bet on it! 🙂 They are spectacular flowering plants–real show stoppers!
Just never seen anything like it, and yes you could well be right … I’ve photographed this exact same plant before, never expected this !
it’s called Bird of Paradise 🙂
Thanks 😀
I have no idea either, but we have this flower also in Aceh-Indonesia. A typical tropical flower Í guess…
For sure, definately tropical 😀

Beautiful flower and great shot, as usual, Don. 🙂
Thanks for reblog Babu 😀
🙂 As always, the Don is welcome.
Babu, you are awesome dude 😀
Awesome!!!! Don, You must be really kidding now; I am just reblogging / reposting posts I like – copy/paste – nothing is mine. Any one can do it Don. You know it better. Nevertheless, I am doing it happily.
🙂

It’s means a lot to me dude … I have a couple of people that often reblog and means I remember you guys. So heart-felt thanks and appreciation dude 😀
Extremely unusual, Don sounds quite relaxed and spares time for one of 100s of his followers. Honoured Don and Thanks. 🙂

Babu, Suresh
LOL, just totally behind on everything dude, but don’t worry I’ll catch up sooner or later … me time was needed !
And you are definitely most welcome 😀

I may be wrong, but I think it’s called Birds of Paradise.
I’ve a suspicion you could be right !
Lovely flower, alright. Looks a bit like a bird?

Bird of paradise flower seems to be consensus at the moment …
Go figure!

It’s called Bird of Paradise flower, and it is found in the tropics. Pretty, isn’t it?
VERY much 😀
It reminded me of a similar plant found in the Philippines— called as bird of paradise.
People have suggested same, so think may be the very same 😀
amazingly beautiful!!
Thanks 😀
It’s beautiful 🙂 looks like a heliconia rostrata 🙂 x
Checked on Google, that’s very close 😀
Heliconia!
😀
I might have seen one before too! it might be the Birds of Paradise!
😀
I never see anything like those. Stunning!
True 😀
Hmm, that looks somewhat like some of the ginger blossoms here in tropical Queensland. Let’s see if you have some horticultural expert reading your blog.
There’s a few piped up, so check the other comments 😀
OK, I showed your photo to a friend who is a horticulturalist (gee, that’s hard to type!). He said “Definitely a heliconia”.
OK, so we’re pretty sure on the heliconia … thanks 😀
love it!
Thanks 😀
We have those growing around our pool. I’ll go ask the GG what they are called.
He can’t remember. They are in the Bird of Paradise family though.
Thanks, and it’s there or there about 😀
FYI, it’s called a heliconia.
Thanks 😀
Looks like a Bird of Paradise.
Thanks 😀
Beautifo and exotic flower. 🙂
