The elegant 'blue ginger', Dichorisandra thyrsifolia, isn't a ginger and it isn't exactly blue. However, ornamentally it resembles a ginger and its purple flowers often look blue from a distance. It is currently flowering in the Tropical Plant Conservatory and is a definite must see!

Come see the spectacular Morpho butterflies feeding on bananas, papayas, and oranges in our exotic butterfly conservatory, Wings of the Tropics. It is a magical place! 🦋

In the wild, Morpho butterflies feed mostly on the juices of fallen fruit in the forests where they live.🦋

The leaves of Scindapsus sp. 'Silver Lady' are works of art and look like they are painted in silver brushstrokes over a dark green heart-shaped canvas. This elegant climber graces the Tropical Plant Conservatory and is benefitting greatly from our new cloud forest. 🌱

This beautiful and critically endangered species from Haiti, Clavija domingensis, is thriving at Fairchild with a second flowering that far exceeds last year's! This success of conservation horticulture is due to collaboration among institutions in three countries working together for the good of plants. Many thanks to @jardinbotanicord, which was probably the first Garden in the world to successfully produce seed of this rare plant, for sharing these seedlings with us! Thanks also to @montgomerybotanicalcenter for inviting us on these joint expeditions supported by Dr. Lin Lougheed.

Heliconius doris from Ecuador fluttering into their new home, Wings of the Tropics 🦋 at Fairchild 💚
.
You can find Heliconius doris in the tropics, from Central America to the Amazon. Adults have a rapid flight and can be found in forest clearings. Females gather in groups to lay eggs in the leaves of the host plant, Passiflora ambigua (Passifloraceae). The caterpillars are yellow with black bands.
.
The hindwing ray pattern distinguishes this species from almost all other Heliconius species; the color of the pattern is highly variable and can be red, green, blue and occasionally yellow. It appears that all of these color forms can arise from the same batch of eggs.
Like all Heliconius species, Heliconius doris feed not only on nectar, but on pollen, particularly from certain plants, Psiguria Spp. and Gurania Spp. in the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae).
Their ability to extract and digest proteins from pollen gives all Heliconius species a much greater lifespan than other tropical butterflies, often up to 9 months and more!

Today, on this solemn day, we honor those who lost their lives 19 years ago on September 11, 2001. We also pay tribute to the heroes who brought us unstoppable hope during that dark storm.
