Very apropos for Los Angeles...as Bird-of-paradise is the official flower of that city. : > ) They're blooming everywhere here in San Diego now also.

I didn't know that the B O P was the official flower of LA. That's nice to know, thanks for that info.

Angieindgarden:

Yes, however, I'm not sure when it was called the official flower of L.A. I do know it's been more than 30 years though.

That might explain why there are so many around LA

Lovely, but I think under watered here so they don't always look their best.
