WOW ! From me too! Patty, I thought the same thing you did, about how similar to Bird of Paradise it looked. So I looked it up and the common name is "Lobster Claw". Very cool!
dunno if they r related ... but i also have Bird of Paradise/Strelitzia reginiae..emmm not sure if i got da spelling correct there... but my BOP is a rather new acquisition n it has never flowered for me... itz been with me only a few months...
Have a nice day evry one...

You must have spelled it right, because Mel just told me that she got the common name after writing "Heliconia rostrata" in, on Google Image Search.
I have NOOOO doubt that your Bird of Paradise will bloom for you... you seem to have one of the greenest thumbs around here! I just LOVE looking at your pics!
I'm done having a nice day & am headed for bed! YOU have a nice day!

I love that Clerodendron. How large a bloom is that, like, how many inches across, from side to side? They look really large. And so beautiful!!

Hi Shirley4.. i love da Clerodendron too..unfortunately it only flowers once a year..usually soon after da monsoon... da flowers r in bunches..da close shot is of 2 bunches rather close together...thatz why da bunch looks rather large... i measured 'em last evening...side to side they measure about 20inches..
Hi Diane n Penny... m sure your garden n your flowers too r s beautiful if not more so...
Have a nice day everyone....

I think the sexes are the same for the Bulbul. We don't have Bulbuls in the U.S. but they look similar to our Northern Mockingbirds or Loggerhead Shrikes, and the sexes are the SAME in appearance on these two species.

But we shouldnt yearn for what we cannot have... must appreciate what we have, huh.. n here is one of my orchids in bloom... posted a similar pic some time ago..but it was from a friend's garden then...now this one is mine....

m very glad u r enjoying da orchid... n Mel, Orchids r not difficult plants actually...just that some r rather shy or slow to flower ...but when they do da blooms last quite a long time..
this particular one may last up to 2 or even 3 months! n it has nothing in itz little plastic container ... no medium whatsoever...but i'll have to feed it by spraying it with fertilizer periodically ...

Alba. You may be wrong about daffodils. They don't need any chilling whatsoever. A lot of other bulbs do but daffs just keep on putting out. You might be able to grow them.

Thanx millions... n Tina ohh wow i would certainly love to try daffs.. but ahh had had quite a lot of disappointing experience with da post... may b i should just ...emmm watz da word to use...put it off for a while?
i did come across some similar bulbs being sold in a local Superstore some years back...was imported.. bought it of course..quite expensive tho it was... grew a bit ..then died without reaching maturity...was sad but well if i were to come across more i suppose ...i'll buy again!!
Weezie... may b u r not referring to my orchid when u mention abt being almost able to smell da flowers.... anyway just wanna add that this particular orchid unfortunately has no fragrance... i have a couple of fragrant orchids tho... sadly they r not blooming at da moment!
