This creature is growing in my, I use the term loosely, yard.



I love the usual orange Bird of Paradise that grows all over out here. But THIS is something else. These plants are huge, 10' maybe, and the blooms are also very large. The Humming Birds love them, they are sticky with nectar. They look purple in this photo but they look black and white in person. Can't stop looking at them. Who knows what they are?

How beautiful and wonderful for you to have these growing where you can view them. I looked it up and the only thing I can figure is that you have what is a "cousin" to the orange Bird of Paradice from the Nicolai strain. I think. I love Bird of Paradise-the ultimate in tropical plants.
