| Hi, I have criswick but it is a bit to small the divide the plant yet sorry. I do however have # Heliconia caribaea lamarck*h.bihai(l.)l.cv.kawauchi or #Heliconia caribaea lamarck*h.bihai(l.)l.cv.richmond red they are similar to criswick mine are 14-20 feet tall and flower nearly 8 months a year with about 7 bracts per flower. The other flower you are looking for i can not seem to find it my reference books is there another name or can to tell me where i can get a picture as i have found over the years the same flower has three different names and you end up buying all three of them. |

| I have tried Richmond Red and I'm too cold. kawauchi is tougher and survives until there is a flood during winter. I was told by someone in Florida to try Criswick. Happy to swap. I've got Hot Rio Night. Depending who you believe is either a H. caribaea x H.bihai or H.Pendula x Bihai or Caribaea hybrid. Let me know nqadrian when your plant is big enough. Heliconia collinsiana x bourgeana cv 'Pedro Ortiz' is another one that may have some cold tolerance, but I'm not sure whether it's in Australia. Thanks for the reply
