Lobster Claw

Heliconia bourgaeana

Tropical plants are definitely one of my favorite groups of plants.  Here we have a Lobster Claw growing naturally in a forested area in the Yucatan Peninsula in the city of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.  These flowers are vividly attractive and large.  Lobster Claws are in the genus called Heliconiaceae.  This species is called bourgaeana.  These flowers produce nectar which attract some insects but mostly hummingbirds.  One additional fact about Heliconia's is that they are one of the very few flowers to be pollinated by bats.
