Plant ID needed

[Palm crazy]

I like this plant but can't ID it. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Wow, i don't know what is this, but i love it.

It looks an orange Asplenium!

That is nice! 

I'll guess some kind of Heliconia - but the coloration is probably in-part due to being in strong sun. Possibly a Curcuma, but I don't think so. It is clearly a ginger of some sort. 

Is it yours?

I think it is Heliconia indica var. spectabilis ??? Whatever it is my climate is too cool in summer to grow it I am sure. 

I saw the picture on the net and wanted to know if it was hardy, I'm sure it not going to grow in my cool summer temps. I can't get big leaves on my Hawaii Ti plants so this plants not a good choice for me either. But I do love that rich jewel tone color.

It is indeed that Heliconia...with some of the best looking leaves in the genus, but a very tropical Heliconia

Thanks, Geoff, for the ID. It really is a remarkable plant. I guess I'll have to just be happy with a look-alike plant like Tropicanna.

Looks more like a Heliconia indica var. 'Red Leaf' to me than a Heliconia indica var. spectabilis (mentioned by Palm Crazy and all the pictures posted by Geoff)  I have both plants and the one in question doesn't seem to have the white stripes. 

Here is my 'Red Leaf' next to the house, which gets a darker red color depending on the sun exposure.

paquicuba. Thanks for your correction... 'Red Leaf' it is.

'Red Leaf' is also known as 'Rubra' and it gets all the time labeled as 'Spectabilis' and vice versa.
