Hanging Lobster Claw (Heliconia rostrata)

This is one of the more unique ornamental flowering plants that looks like a lobster claw.
This extremely unusually shaped flower makes for great long lasting cut flower arrangement pieces. It also resembles a lobster claw which is how it got it's name. It grows great in sunny to partly cloudy skies and at low elevations which makes it great for growing in gardens.
