I think that is the 'Parrot's Beak' heliconia. The 'Lobster Claw' is generally an orange shade (like a cooked lobster), with a dark green to black edge, and no yellow. Another difference, 'Parrot's Beak' hangs down, 'Lobster Claw' grows upward. Still nice pics, though.

(yeah, I know if you 'google' it, it shows the 'Parrots Beak' even when you look for 'Lobster Claw', that doesn't mean it's right)
