How do Heliconias get pollinated? Heliconias rely exclusively on hummingbirds for pollination.

🛑 There are no hummingbirds on the Hawaiian Islands. Instead, Hawaii’s nectar feeders are the honeycreepers. However, they do not pollinate the heliconias.

🦎 Instead, the Madagascar Day Geckos who are residents of the Garden, happily take on this responsibility.

🧐 When visiting the Garden, take notice of how many Madagascar Day Geckos hang out on heliconias waiting for their next meal.
