I've always loved bird of paradise flowers and it saddens me that the zone I live in is too cold for them. This photo takes me way back -- my wonderful mother-in-law had these growing by her house. I'm not sure why I always associate these flowers with her, but I do. Thanks for sharing with us.
They are gorgeous. Great choice for orange. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteBird of Paradise. It seems funny now to see them growing outside as they are highly prized/priced items in the florists here.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Colin.
You see lots of them in Singapore ... everywhere. They are attractive flowering plants.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! And BTW, Colin, did you make your blog's tool bar orange just for this week? ;b
ReplyDeleteI'd love one of these guys for my front yard!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
