Heliconia wagneriana (Lobster's Claw)

If you do not look carefully, you would think these plants and flower bracts are just Heliconia rostrata/pendula.
Well, the leaves are identical but the inflorescences are not.The former has hanging flowers, while these flowers are pointing upwards. The bracts have unnoticeable yellow edges.


Heliconia rostrata flower bracts are more prominent.
