Bandera de Panama

On December 19, 2010, in Flora, by sduford

My gardener calls these flowers “banderas de Panama” or “Panama Flag”. They are normally all red or all yellow, but this one flower came out as a hybrid! The rest of the flowers from the same plant all came out yellow. Does this qualify as a miracle? icon smile Bandera de Panama

Does anyone know the name of this beautiful flower? It comes from an aquatic plant.

*Edit: thanks to my friend Jean-Claude, I now know this to be a Water Hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes]
