Calathea Crotalifera (Marantaceae): Flower of the Day, Feb 4, 2019

 

Ha!!!  I finally identified this plant!!  It is a flower found in Hawaii and Brazil (and obviously Mexico, as that is where I bought it) named Calathea Crotalifera,  also known as Rattlesnake Ginger. Strangely, it is a member of the mushroom family??? Hard to believe, but I read it on a horticultural site.   LWBUT, would you have known what it was??

These huge hibiscus flowers were painted on the side wall of an outside restaurant next to the plaza in La Manzanilla, where I come for two months each year.
