Does anyone know when Heliconas flower ?Several yrs ago we were given some but with the drought & water restrictions some died & others just hung on but now with the horrible wet summer we have had ,there is a clump about 2m high.Its now autumn even though the past couple of days have been over 30c ,so I was wondering if I might see some flowers soon.The freesias are appearing with some of the other spring bulbs too.The weather has got the plants confused

I can only dream of seeing flowers in my area, as I live right at the tree line in the mountains. But I have to agree with you on one thing. The weather has the plants all confused, and I'm in the opposite hemisphere!!! Good luck with your flowers.

ok found out they are tropical and another name for them is lobster claw but could not find out when they bloom/Lillian
Thank you for looking ,you found out as much as I have.They came in various shapes & sizes producing lovely flowers.The people who gave them to me came from Cairns & we have lost touch after cyclone Larry hit a few years ago

Dear Killiecrankie,
According to the Encyclopaedia they bloom during the wet season! The spelling I have is HELICONIA - Love and blessings Chris

By the way I live in Newcastle, New South Wales on the east coast of Australia and Queensland has a "wet season" different to ours. Love Chris
