These attractive plants are perennial herbs with stout or reedlike stems. The simple banana-like leaves sometimes show a coppery sheen, and the midrib may be ivory and pink. The colorful inflorescence is formed of waxy bracts that alternate in a single plane and support the numerous small flowers. The inflorescences may be hanging or erect. The flowers themselves can be red, orange, yellow, or green and are usually pollinated by hummingbirds. The fruits are blue to blue-purple when ripe.

As a photographer, I am truely blessed to live in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. This geographic area is rich in photogenic scenery and fabulous wildlife. Mother nature at her finest! An avid photographer since 1974 I have had the incredible opportunity to travel the world while serving over 20 years in the United States Navy. Having lived and visited so many different places gives me a unique perspective on nature and wildlife of regions I visit today. My gallery hosts many genres of photography, from landscapes to wildlife photography of birds and woodland creatures. These durable prints will be the perfect addition to any room in your home or office.
