Every time I've seen heliconia before, they have looked something like this. In Costa Rica, I saw a type of heliconia that was soft and fuzzy! The first time I noticed it was right after it rained. There were water droplets clinging to the fuzz. It should have made for good pictures, but the light was very bad that day. The next morning, I got some better photos of the fuzzy (but dry) heliconia illuminated by bright sunlight.

I took some photos today, and I hope they turned out. I had good subject matter, at least... I hope to post them when my hard-drive issues are sorted out, whenever that may be!
