Along the channel where we live, there are wonderful plants. There are tall hibiscus plants, next to taller yuccas, large bottle brush trees, and several giant blue birds of paradise. This is one of three (as pictured above), The other two had already shown off their exotic blooms.
Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Wednesday!
We can occasionally see them in Florida. Very cool looking plants...and a great name :)

HI Alexandra... an amazing shade of blue in that blue bird of paradise! Your post reminded me that this is the first year in more than I can count that I haven't had a hibiscus tree on my front porch... never once saw one I wanted to buy all year.

The Bird of Paradise is a unique flowering plant. It has gotten my attention on more than one occasion, Ron and Alexandra. Happy day!

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I really like them. In Los Angeles, in our pool area along the retaining wall,I had 8 large terra cotta pots with orange ones. They looked magnificent. When we moved to Napa, we left them behind, as we knew they would not survive the cold. A
Roy Kelley I left 8 like the ones you picture in the pool area of our Los Angeles home. I loved seeing them bloom. A

Kathy Streib I have no idea whether or not the weather is friendly for them in Houston. I left ours behind when we move to Napa. The winters are way too cold. A
Those are large flowers and I cannot imagine them doing what the song lyrics offer: Fly up your nose

Nature is so amazing some times. It absolutely looks like a giant bluebird.

Hello Alexandra and Ron - Birds of Paradise are quite attractive to me. While the photo shared by Roy Kelley might be more commonly seen by me, the one shown in your post is also beautiful.
