A native plant in South Africa, the long stemmed flowering plant that typically grows from two to three feet in height and thrives in the warmer climates of the United States.
The Bird of Paradise always manages to make me smile. This photo was taken last week at the public garden.

Hmm...it really does look like a bird. Just noticed your Zelda post. There was a wonderful book written in the 1960s about her, titled 'Zelda'. Wish I could remember the author. Her sad story stayed with me for the longest time. Did you read?
Yes, she had a sad life as do many writers.
I agree that this flower is so unique that it does make you smile to see them. We stayed at a resort in Florida, and they brightened our visit every morning.
