Bird Of Paradise & Friend

Someone who knows a lot more about gardening than I do once questioned the wisdom of growing Bird of Paradise in my garden. I felt like a clutz for thinking I could plant just anything and expect it to grow. That clutz like feeling was replaced with delight today when I saw the beautiful blue and orange colours peeking out between the pink and green Four O'Clocks - now, after seven years, I proudly present my gorgeous BOP flower.............with friend.
