It's spring and I have my finery on. Don't I look gorgeous?
My friend is still shedding a bit of winter bad-hair, but I still think she looks a treat. And we want to play! But the weather teases us, with a flash of sun, followed by cloud, wind and rain.
Come on girls, maybe we'll set out together. Let's get out on the town and show them what birds of paradise can do. After all, it's spring and if we wait any longer our finery will fade. Let's go!

Aren't they pert and pretty wee birds about town?
I love your story about these flowers.
Thank you Lynley, they are looking the best they ever have. Pert and pretty is an apt way to describe them.
Such animated blooms! We had these when I lived in Florida -- lovely plants.
They certainly are lively, Vicki. Thanks for visiting.
I'm with you, Juliet. Yes. Let's go . . .
Those birds of paradise are so beautiful. I just love them. The colours are incredible xx
Great Penny, we're off to paint the town red!
Charlie, they are special plants. Often they get a bit bedraggled, but this year they are resplendant.
Hi Juliet - Strelitzia .. love them from South Africa days - and now they occasionally have them at the flower sellers. I don't think I've ever seen a mini-stand like this - stunning photos ..
Cheers Hilary
Hilary, so that's their botanical name. They are looking particularly fine this year. I didn't realise they came from South Africa.
