Thank you very much for your nice comments and valuable opinions. <br /><br />I have only seen this sexy pink heliconia as cut flowers and floral shows in Malaysia. I too have not seen anyone growing it in the garden yet, not even at resorts, spas and public gardens or Genting Highlands. Since they can grow it in Florida, surely we can grown it here too?<br /><br />Wendy, regarding the cut look on the leaves on the buffet table decor, most likely it is not cut by people. Notice in the 4th picture that the leaves of this sexy pink heliconia are naturally and easily cut/shredded by the wind. There is also another plant, a philodendron called the Monstera deliciosa whose leaves are naturally split like this. Here I am not sure which one they are using.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-81133175834918629312010-11-10T11:59:19.346+08:002010-11-10T11:59:19.346+08:00really pretty.
