Not sure if this is the right place to post but I wanted to share some of the plants I saw on my recent trip to Bali.

Very nice. The last one is Heliconia Lobster Claw. I bought one but might have been fooled again since I havent yet seen a bloom

Aykhan, thanks for letting me know the name of the plant. They looked so unreal. I hope you were not fooled and that the tree will bloom for you.

The plant with white flowers on the top is Hymendcallis Littoralis commonly known as Spider Lilly.its very common in Karachi.

My nana has Lobster Claw and several other varities of Heliconia growing VERY well in his house. The flowers of lobster claws are 2 feet + long.

When you come to Karachi gimme a call. I'll take you to see them.

I have several plants of Spider lily in my garden in Karachi. If you want you can take one from me.

This is the perfect time to plant them as they are just starting to bloom. Their smell is amazing
