Banana-tree or not?
The cientific name of this plant is Heliconia Rostrata, of the banana's tree family, which is musaceas. The common name is banana tree of swamp, ornamental banana tree or caete, or yet, heliconia. It produces such beautiful red flowers and it is 'playground' for many insects.
I never go out without my camera, even if it is only for a walk. This way I found this flower and shot. At first I thought of taking a picture of the whole tree, but I then realized that it would be graceless. But when I got closer, I saw these 2 little ants having fun on it, each one exploiting a different direction. I would really like to hear from you on how you would have shot the whole plant, without the photo being graceless. Mille grazie. |
