Plant of the Day

Saturday 3 June 2023

Growing in a tropical glasshouse this Heliconia rostrata (false bird of paradise, hanging lobster claw) was putting on a show. This large, evergreen perennial has leaves up to 2m long and produces hanging inflorescences made up of bright red bracts, each tipped with yellow and green, with small yellowish-white flowers which in the Americas are pollinated by humming birds.
