Yesterday, I posted a photo of the flower pods on my Red Bird of Paradise. To my surprise, the first three opened up this morning. I don’t have to tell you how much I love these shrubs and I’m ecstatic to have my very own blooms. There will be more coming and I promise (DrJim) I will post them when I can.

Funny, how I’ve not had luck with that, even though I saw it growing lustily on Bonaire, in the Caribbean Sea. However, I have an orchid, Epidendrum radicans with orange and red flowers that look amazingly like these flowers.
We bought one in Palm Springs years ago and were not successful with it, poor thing, it just wasn’t a coastal plant. I’ve dreamed of having these some day. Now they’re mine, mine MINE! Ha.
Yes, my pretty……
“My preciousss..”
Easy here, Gollum! It’s just a flower, not the Ring!
Laugh it up furrballs.
