Your very welcome Marcia.

Thank you Lisa, You do know your plants.

We need to give full credit to Lisa, as she was first to give us a lesson, I was split of second too late, LOL !
Marcia Colelli10-Feb-2008 20:16
AWWW!! Yes!! I have heard this name before. Thanks for the information. I will blow them away with my knowledge of the exotic and tropical growth there now. :)

My guess "Heliconia bihai". I just love tropical flowers :)

Marci, I made research to make sure than when you arrive to Aruba you can stun locals with your knowledge of botanics, this plant is called "Heliconia" !

What a beautiful flower. Very graphical

Very provocative question, Marci... As a galant chevalier, all I can suggest at this point of time is-make your pick and I'll try to comply, LOL !
Marcia Colelli10-Feb-2008 19:22
I have come across this one many times, but have not found out the name of it. I agree that another trip to Aruba would be just the thing. I will make sure I ask the first thing when I arrive. Now are you going to pay for me to go back ?? :)
Eldar Kadymov10-Feb-2008 19:17
Marci, I cannot believe that you, seasoned tropical explorer, don't know what is the name of this flower ?! Hmmm... we should administer another tour to Aruba to reveal this mystery !
