I don't really know the species names, just tried growing the two most available cold hardy heliconias on the foggy California coast(really chilly in summer with the fog), and they didn't grow that well. The high elevation types would most likely be a better climate match, because there is a real lack of heat on the coast, but it also doesn't get that cold in the winter.
I always wanted to go into the Andean highlands and check out the species of cerxylon(palm), bamboo, and Heliconia. If you ever have time to post some pictures that would be awesome.
Thanks,
Kyle
