Flowers at Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls April 2nd, 2010.
Photographs by Gustavo Thomas
After a long winter in Toronto (not as long as usually is but it's still long) I could see again some flowers coming back in Spring, this time in Niagara Falls.
I will appreciate any help for getting their name.

Torch Ginger at Ubud Water Palace, Bali.
Torch Ginger (Nicolaia elatior)
This spectacular flower is one of the most beautiful of all flowering tropical plants in Bali. Both leaf and flower stalks emerge separately from underground tubers. The most common form has bright red flowers, though there is another with pink blossoms.

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.
