  • I wasn't at all sure what this was, but my son said it was called Mexican Bird of Paradise.  It made for a gorgeous bush with dozens of these beautiful blooms. 



    See what the individual blooms look like up close. I'm wondering if this plant would grow in Oklahoma.



    I even caught a honey bee collecting pollen.  He wasn't concerned about me at all.


    Don't forget that you can click on any of the pictures and touch the F11 key to see a larger version of the picture.

  • Oh wow. That is fantastic! I want one in my yard now!

  • These flowers look like they are on fire!!
    Amazing, I love it!

  • It is beautiful, but I suspect it doesn't like freezing weather since I never see it around here. There are so many tropicals that can grow in San Antonio. :sunny:

  • Wow, what a beautiful flower and how unusual too!   I've never seen it before.   The bush is huge!  :fun:   Gayle

  • Wow!  That is beautiful!  :sunny:

  • I've never seen one of those flowers before! I doubt that they'd grow with the climate we have here (I can't get much to grow here other than weeds) :p
