This notion applies to other varieties, as well. Such aspossible crosses between erect ones with pendent ones.Sexual reproduction (seeds), through cross pollination byvisiting hummingbirds, birds, bats and insects is unavoidable.They are the main living organisms which pollinate theinflorescences.This mode of promiscuous sexual reproduction accounts forthe phenotype phenomenon. The phenotype phenomenonhas universal effects on our heliconias. It helps to create newvarieties which did not exist before.I will be showing some examples of such new evolutionaryvariations in color and shapes.

Taking into account that certain heliconias are known by otherdifferent names, in other parts of the world, some of thenames in this PPP, as well as on the 2012 HSPR Newsletterlist, might be erroneous or repetitive. I apologize if a few ofthese heliconias might have erroneous names, due to variedcircumstances.Also, there might be slight variations in color (and shape) inthe inflorescences, making up for new names; such as, in thecase of the different varieties of H. orthotrichas and H.caribaeas growing in Puerto Rico (and elsewhere).These anomalies make it more interesting, by opening up fordiscussion such variations, to be correctly named thereafter.
