This stunning flower may be unfamiliar to many, but its vibrant beauty immediately catches the eye. The brilliant red blooms, tucked behind lush green leaves, create a captivating blend of color. Known as Heliconia rostrata, or Hanging Lobster Claw, this flower is also the national symbol of Bolivia. Although a foreign species, Heliconia is now cultivated by hobbyist gardeners in Cox’s Bazar, adding a touch of exotic charm to the region.
