  • I would say that flower still isn't fully open - if it opens more, post another shot. – Bamboo May 25 '15 at 11:19
  • Can it be bird of paradise? I thought bird of paradise flowerhas a long blue lip like structure like a bird? But this flower has nothing like this:( – trina May 25 '15 at 11:34
  • No, its not Strelitzia reginae (Bird of Paradise), flowers are not like this. – Bamboo May 25 '15 at 12:04

Same story as the other plant you asked about - that's a bud and it will open when the time is right. Patience my friend... as to what it is, it looks a bit like Strelitzia reginae (Bird of Paradise plant) from the leaves - except the bud shape is wrong. If no one else knows what it is, please post another photo when the flower has opened.

UPDATED ANSWER:

Yes, got it, having seen the new photograph - it's Heliconia psittacorum 'Andromeda' and its not quite finished opening fully yet. It's a perennial native to the Caribbean and the north of South America, but also often listed as a Malaysian plant. The common name for this plant is Parrot Plant, though that also refers to other varieties of Heliconia.
