I’m not one to profess to know much about flower names either at home in the UK or on my travels but I was impressed by the heliconias I saw in Sri Lanka.

I have seen them in other tropical locations but none so vivid, exceptional and impressive as in Sri Lanka either in the botanical gardens in Kandy, growing wild or of course at Casa Heliconia in Kaleliya which was our first stop off on our trip in Sri Lanka.

Different colours, different sizes and lots of photo opportunities.
