@zuzu, @Calif_Sue, This database photo does not look right for Strelitzia. Member Tertiusvs joined the site on Dec. 1, 2016 and he/she only made a single post, asking for identity of this plant. Other members identified it as Heliconia but the photo for some reason was uploaded to this entry for Strelitzia. The caption with the photo says "Trying to identify this flower."

Here are a couple of photos showing the differences in bloom structure between Strelitzia and Heliconia:


A photo of the plant in question (S. reginae subsp. mzimvubuensis) can be viewed on this page and it does not look like the plant in Tertiusvs' photo: http://pza.sanbi.org/strelitzi....

I propose that member Tertiusvs' photo be moved over to the general database entry for Heliconia
