Bird of Paradise

Well, I'll bet you never thought I could combine bird and plant!

This beautiful Bird of Paradise lives in Bert's backyard in Los Angeles.  Named that for obvious reasons, it looks like a bird.  The bird of Paradise is a native plant of Africa and is, according to the University of Florida website, closely related to the banana plant.

I don't know how successfully one could be grown here, but I might have to give it a try.

Til Tomorrow,
