Bird of paradise (Heliconia) at Ubud Water palace, Bali.


Heliconia (Heliconea sp)
The flowers grow from rhizomes. They have erect shoots; each composed of a stem and leaves and often terminated by an inflorescence of frequently bright color that comes from the bracts rather than the actual flower.
