Heliconia pendula
Hi Denise, lovely photo! I am sure that this heliconia is misidentified. The pedulas are also pendent but they are distichous to spiral...which basically means that the individual flowers start growing one parallel to the other but eventually begin to spiral. Here is a link for the pendula. I think you will see the distinct difference between the two species upon further inspection. http://www.heliconiasocietypr.org/helico...
