| Heliconia caribaea is renowned for its striking, brightly colored flower bracts, which display a vibrant combination of red and yellow. These bracts are often arranged in a pendant or drooping fashion, creating a dramatic, eye-catching appearance. Native to the tropical regions of Central America, the Caribbean, and parts of South America, this species is a popular ornamental plant. The plantâs distinctive, colorful bracts and long, elegant inflorescences make it a standout in tropical gardens. Heliconia caribaea, like the banana plant (genus Musa), belongs to the Musaceae family and the Zingiberales order, which also includes other tropical species such as ginger and plantains.
