Banana Flower

This looks like a rather large type of heliconia. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a positive identification on it. I do seem to remember that I either overhead someone say, or read somewhere that this is, a banana flower.

  Good color and DoF. The texture of the right petal is great.
