Heliconias are also called Fake Bird of Paradise or Wild
Plantain. They are tall, spiky, with red-orange-yellow bracts with unique arrowhead-shaped
petals. They are named after Mount Helicon, where Greek mythology placed
the Nine Muses of science and the arts. A gift of heliconia symbolizes
inspiration, intuition and divine guidance.

If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person
knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter
as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will
teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet
introspection. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
