   I love your photo. When I first moved to my house, my next door neighbor had gorgeous birds of paradise. She was elderly, and after she died, the house was purchased by someone who just did not care. All her gorgeous garden, beautiful rhododendrons, too, withered and died. These people have a huge amount of money, but they did not value the the garden, and would not pay a gardener to maintain it.

      I hate it when that happens. It has happened to both of my neighbors’ houses, sold and the gardens either ripped out or allowed to die out. So sad.

   When I lived in southern California as a kid a friend has these birds and I have always liked them. Thanks for posting this beauty. 😀

      I love them too. My friend Marti had huge ones in her front yard–many of them double-headed–and the minute I got a place of my own in California I planted them and have had them in the yard of every house since.
