    DID SOMEONE MENTION SCARLET?

    Did someone mention scarlet
    Or was it red I heard?
    Perhaps it was a varlet
    Or a vermilion bird
    That shouted out the color
    That’s dearest to my heart.
    (It makes me feel much duller
    If red is not a part.)

  3. Hi there,

    I'm from KL. May I know where did you buy the heliconia Pedro Ortiz? I've asked many nurseries but could not find it.

    1. New Gardener, you can try Selangor Green Lane. I'm so sorry for the typo error. The photo was taken at Floria 2010, not at my home! I shall amend the post immediately.
