I like this photographed against the light.
Shows up the varying green colours.

I looked it up and seems it is grown as a houseplant and it is the plant's shape which gives it the name, rather than birds nesting in it !
Though maybe birds do try to make their homes there. Lol.

I've grown this as a houseplant, nice to see the larger version.
