Howdyall:

Here's a pic of a plant at my dive, ain't got no [expletive] clue what it's called, except it looks like a Heliconia, etc.

That is, as ever, my hairy mitt, the usual human hand size.

Bingo!

Thanks RLR and Kate!

Now I know where I can move them when I dig it up -- It's hiding the trunk on the Dypsis leptocheilos.

Wow Dave, I know I wasn't the first to reply, but that is undoubtedly the only plant in the kingdom that I knew the (common) name to that you didn't!   :P   I have also heard it referred to as drunken ginger.  I do love its flowers- mine did that about 1-2 months ago.
