Hello Veronica. But were they the same plant taken at the same time? Each spotting should contain photos of the same individual(s). That way the date and location of the observation are valid for all the images of the spotting. It is very common here to have more than one spotting of the same species if they involve different individuals/different locations/different times. If they were part of the same clump (close to one another in the same small area) taken at the same time that would be OK, but maybe mention should be made of that if it was the case. This is a generally applicable comment of course :-)

I believe both are Heliconia psittacorum. http://www.heliconiasocietypr.org/helico...
