Bird of Paradise

Thanks Jade – you were quick. I have one bush near the front door and more down the back including the giant version too thats a totally different colour. I must take a walk down there later to see if these ones are in flower. This one virtually opened up over night.

Ooh thanks for the ‘awesome’ – love your comment.

Hey David – happy Easter and thank you for the comment.

Thanks Mandy – I found this one had opened up over night and just couldn’t resist it. It was like all guns blazing as I shot off quite a few before deciding on this one.

Thanks Michael – Happy Easter. I took this one at about 7 am this morning before the sun got to that spot as I wanted the even light. Very pleased.

Ta Mate!!

Thanks Kat – they are a beautiful flower – quite exquisite.

Thank you Rebekah!!

Thank you Helen for this lovely comment – I love the colours in this flower.

Thanks Steve – this little beauty opened up over night.

Thank you Peter – I love your comment. These plants are very easy to grow, they virtually look after themselves … and the flowers are magnificent.

Thanks Kylie – I actually took this with a 55-200 mm lens and it provided a great depth of field.

Thanks Woody – this is such a challenging flower, the colours and its many hidden mysteries!!!!!!!

Thanks Clark for this great comment. I took this with my 55-200 mm lens as I came home from an early morning trip to the markets (naturally camera in tow) and took a chance on it – I’m so pleased with it.

Thanks James – this one opened up overnight – its so pretty.

Thank you Bev for the comment – it is so appreciated.

Thanks Jacquei for commenting on this beautiful flower. Mother nature worked her best with the colours in these plants. I can’t wait for my plant to mature so I will get a larger display of flowers. Thanks for the favourite too.

Thanks Gloria – I’m pleased you liked this one and you’re right they are flowering all over at present – the colour combination is very special.

Hi Ron – thank you for the comment, its always appreciated.

That’s fine Gloria – I answer to many names and its so easy to do. All is forgiven.

Thanks Tracy for the comment and especially for the wow – I always love a wow.

Hi and thank you for the comment on this beautiful flower. They are amazing and nature worked her best to produce these magnificent colours for me to capture.

Thank you Megan, I always appreciate your comments.

Thanks Deb – I agree the colours were spectacular. I have another one taken very early in my days on RB and its no where near the colours of this one. I did take this in very low light so I think that brought out the colours more than bright and sometimes uneven sunlight.

Thanks Pete for the comment. There is not much else out in flower at present – I’m just heading down there now to do some cleaning up, Phil already has the mulcher going. You’re welcome anytime.

Thanks Paul – especially for the wow!! I always love a wow!

Hi Ellen and thank you for the comment. This flower had just opened up and so the colours were quite brilliant.

Thanks John – its such a beautiful flower. I was a little worried as mine hadn’t flowered … but then overnight it all happened … such a nice surprise on Good Friday to find it had opened up.

Hi Kimberly and thank you for this beautiful comment. It is such a beautiful work of nature, the shape and colours, and this is only a small bush yet. Next year I’m hoping for a larger display. I have planted another three down the backyard plus I have two of the giant variety – their flowers are huge but not as colourful.

Wow!! thank you Mary Ann for this feature and comment – its very muchly appreciated.

Thank you Jayne for commenting – I appreciate your input.

Hi Colleen and thank you for the comment and the favourite of this one. I actually purchased this one myself as a card recently and was so impressed with Red Bubble’s production of this – the colours remained as brilliant in the card as on screen. Thank you again.
