Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is a pretty amazing place, and I've been there myself a couple of times recently. I don't know much about heliconias, but I believe they have hundreds of different species there. Here are two of them. For some reason, these two Swedish girls seem to be in all my photos...! :lol:

They also have lots of different Anthuriums. Here's Anthurium cupulispathum (and the only reason I know that is because the name is on a sign in front of the plant!). And oh, yes, different day - different Swedish girls...! :lol:

Kris,

I don't believe they have any of the palms you listed. But they do have a couple of very impressive Metroxylon amicarum, and some really tall Phoenicophorium borsigianum. Actually the tallest ones I've ever seen. Have to make sure I take some palm photos as well next time...! :)

And John,

Hinting is not necessary - you're welcome here for a garden tour on your next Big Island visit!

Wolfgang,

Those are Alexander palms (Archontophoenix alexandrae) which have become naturalized on the east side of the Big Island.
