#NLSflora #Flora@NLS This week, we feature the vibrant and colourful 'Heliconia rostrata' at the #NLScampus, commonly called 'hanging lobster claw' or 'false bird of paradise'. Known for its long, paddle-shaped lush green leaves, this plant has downward-facing flowers which can be a source of undiluted nectar, thereby attracting birds and insects. Also referred to as as the "Magic Flower of the Incas," it is one of the two national flowers of Bolivia - it displays the red, yellow & green colours of the Bolivian flag and is considered a national symbol.
