    Wow, way to make the Bird of Paradise look insignificant! I don't have a Bird of Paradise in my yard, but as I recall the ones I've seen in Arizona are purple and orange, is the one in the photo past its prime?

  2. AZ, the flower is past its prime but still gives a good comparison.

    maybe
    is past prime,
    but still looks dangerous(!)

    you must be just about at the height of your season there, lexcen -- hope you're staying out of the path of those wildfires (and smoke)

  4. As the saying goes, where there's smoke there's fire. In my case we have lots of smoke but no fire.
