Hidden under the palms, or in the lush tropical gardens Heliconias often lurk. Hanging down from their banana-like leaves or coming straight up from the ground. Their beautiful colours certainly attract the eye, as you roam through a tropical garden. Not native to the top end, but certainly prefers the warmer climate. Their native homeland is Central and South America, and then they migrated to the Southern Pacific. Hybrids where made from the original ones to get all the sorts of wonderful shapes, and colours that are available today to the budding gardener. Or if you are like me, not such the promising gardener, you go to somebody else’s garden and enjoy them.
