The unfortunate thing about heliconias is that if they are not in bloom, they are usually just big broad leaf tropical plants. But when they do put up the inflo it makes the waiting all worth it. Sharon is cool because it has deep maroon undersides on the leaves so it has some color interest even if not in bloom. I recently got these Heliconia zebrina 'Inca' which are the most interesting Heliconia I currently have...the leaves look almost like a Calathea tigrina but more velvety. These are small right now but I think when they grow larger they will be show stoppers
