Whenever I see a bird-of-paradise plant I look for a perfect bloom like the one above. There are a few places here in the desert that I see them growing especially around golf courses where frequent watering takes place. Their species name is Stelitzia but they are called bird-of-paradise because they look like a certain species birds and you have to admit, they do have a bird-like look.
Whenever I see a perfect one like this, I'm inspired to take a photograph.
Such wonderful colors.
ReplyDeleteSuch an eye catching bloom and another beautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sharon. It makes me think that I should buy a couple and I have the perfect vase for them.
ReplyDeleteThat is an especially nice one! I never see them in London, even in pots, but of course they're all over the place in Florida.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see the bird resemblance. Love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful flowers, I have several of the larger blue and white birds of paradise in my garden.
ReplyDeleteA bit like an artwork made by glass.
