Hey Jack, the Heliconia scheideana, Fire and Ice came out after I gave up but I did collect all the species that was available here some 10 years ago and I think I got most of them then. I didn't buy any hybrids or any of the psittacorum stuff. The reason I gave up totally is that they became invasive in my nursery and I had to ask the guy who sold them to me to dig them all away. He had a ball of a time telling me how much $ he made from my overflowing stuff!

Over here all the heliconia's are very cheap with the nice big flower ones costing about $10 a 20 inch clump in a black bag. I don't think I will go back to them cos of the way they grow!
