Since this plant was beat up immediately after we moved in by both hurricane Francis and hurricane Jeanne, we weren't 100% sure of what it was ... now we have the proof that it is a bird of paradise.

Yep, no question there. That is a textbook example of a beautiful bird of paradise. Lovely! What gaudy, glorious, bodacious flower. Look at me!

They're the ones that are sure to get to reproduce. ;)

So tiny!

Yes, a little post processing... sue me.

V I'm going to tell Tink you are reading my mind.
Your pics are pretty much my favourite Spring flowers.

(note to those who want to send expensive bouquets - also roses, lilies and orchids)

We call Irises "flags" and I have always associated them with my parents' tall, thin neighbour who grew them. And Daffodils are also called "Lent lilies" - I prefer your idea of a chattering crowd of rubberneckers though.

I had hyacinth on my desk the week before last, scenting the office. This week it's scented narcissus. Am sorta dreading the summer because the cheap flowers go of season. Maybe I can get some wildflowers.

Keep taking the pics V - they are wonderful.

I saw several narcissuses on this latest walk... and I couldn't get a nice shot of any of them. All colors, pink, white, burgundy, blue, they are lovely. I'll try again.. they are so complicated...

Just realised I didn't say how gorgeous your photos are!
They're beautiful.
