Since photography is becoming a hobby, I intend to document some of the things that were new and different to me when I arrived in California.
Ever seen a Bird of Paradise flower? The orange ones?
Well.
They have a Giant version here... it is HUGE.
The flower pods are at least a foot long, oozing sticky nectar. And the plant is 20 feet high.
Here is the usual garden-variety version, about as big as your hand.
There are 11 planters at my office full of them.
In Texas, the only place you could get these was at a florist. And look! They are everywhere! The hummingbirds go completely NUTS - I tried to get a photo of one, but they are just too fast.
