Birds
of Paradise are one of my favorite flowers and until I moved here into
Gateway I thought they only looked like the above. 11 years ago I
discovered a plant growing near the elevator and soon discovered that it
was a Bird of Paradise tree only the 'birds' were white in a purple
'beak'. I cut one and put it in a plastic glass and set it on my kitchen
sill.
The tree is now two stories high filled with flowers and just amazing.
Mother Nature works wonders!

"It seems to me
we can never give up longing and wishing
for things while we are thoroughly alive.
There are certain things we feel
to be beautiful and good,
and we muct hunger after them."
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) 1819-1880 English Novelist
