You will seevarying shades of the bloom on this variety. I have seen them range from pink to orange on into bright red.

ornamental Heliconia
This one is primarily nice to look at, itproduces a small fruit that doesn't have much meat to it, but it is edible.

It's possible that I'm wrong on this identification, but I found one similar to this on anothersite, so I'm guessing on the name of this one.

Banana
(Muscea)
All indications lead us to believe that bananas originated in Asia. Alexander the great is credited forbringing it to the Western hemisphere in the 16th century. Today there are over 500 documented names for different banana varieties, yet they are not all classified as individualspecies. Due to the banana plants' tendency to "sport" or mutate very easily, taxonomists gave up long ago trying to classify them all.
The seedless bananas, which are the varietiescultivated for food, reproduce by production of "suckers" or ratoons. These are shoots off of the main root or "corm" of the plant.
